“…Diverse stages must be accomplished in order to, at the end of the work, count on a clinically useful instrument, which can be reliably used by the professional community. The present study described aspects of the rigor needed to develop a questionnaire, in accordance with the related literature 10,17,19 . A comprehensive literature review was combined with informal interviews and judges assessment in order to refine the SICOBE and improve its potential to be clinically used.…”

“…A review of the related literature revealed several instruments which can be used to identify the RD in infants: the Infant/Toddler Sensory Profile 14 , the Infant/Toddler Symptom Checklist 15 , the Test of Sensory Functions in Infants 10 , the Infant Characteristics Questionnaire 1 , the Infant Temperament Questionnaire 2 , the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale -NBAS 9 , and the Infant Stress Alarm -ADBB 16 . These tests are carried out in other countries to assist interventions and preventive approaches for children at pre-school age; nevertheless, each of these tests has one or more limitations which make it difficult to use them in clinical contexts.…”

Introduction: Regulatory disorders (RDs) are manifested by sensorimotor, sleep, feeding and adaptation abnormalities in the first three years of life, which seem to indicate future child development problems. There is evidence that RDs are related to attention, learning and behavioral problems that are observed at school age. Therefore, it is important to invest in resources that enable their early detection. The objective of this study was to describe the process of creating a questionnaire to detect atypical behavior suggestive of RDs, among 6 to 12-month-old infants. Method: The instrument was developed in two stages: (a) planning and constructing the test and (b) content validity examination through an expert panel consisting of researchers and professionals with recognized experience in the field. Results: The data indicated that the topic is relevant and that, according to the scores from the panel, the items in the questionnaire are easily observed (96.8%), clearly written (94.5%), assess important aspects of behavior (89.6%) and can potentially detect atypical behavior in 6 to 12-month-old infants (85.4%). Conclusion: Based on this study, the items were reviewed, resulting in a questionnaire with 50 items that will be applied experimentally in future work. It is expected that the questionnaire will be useful for early detection of problems that affect a great number of children.

Children entering the state's legal custody are a high‐risk group. They have experienced, not only maltreatment of some form and usually separation from attachment figures, but often have also witnessed domestic violence, been exposed prenatally to alcohol and/or drugs, or been in attachment relationships with substance‐abusing and/or mentally ill parents. This paper presents data on the developmental and mental health status of these children, including diagnoses using the Diagnostic Classification: 0–3. Over half the children received referrals for additiional needed developmental or mental health services. The importance of assessing these children early in their time in foster care is emphasized.

In this prospective descriptive study, the developmental outcomes of 9 untreated infants with moderate to severe regulatory disorders were examined at 8 to 11 months and again at 4 years of age and compared with 13 normal infants. Regulatory disordered infants were defined as being behaviorally difficult, exhibiting disturbances in sleep, feeding, state control, self‐calming, and mood regulation and evidencing poor sensory processing. Eight of the nine regulatory disordered children had developmental, sensorimotor, and/or emotional and behavioral deficits at 4 years. Group differences were found in atten tion and activity level, emotional maturity, motor coordination, and tactile sensitivity at 4 years. For normal infants, ratings of difficultness on the Bates Infant Characteristics Questionnaire and higher baseline cardiac vagal tone were related to better developmental outcomes and behavioral organization respectively at 4 years. In contrast, ratings of difficultness and higher baseline cardiac vagal tone in regulatory disordered infants were associated with poorer developmental outcomes and behavioral difficulties at 4 years. At the time the study was conducted, the clinical significance of regulatory problems was not known, therefore treatment was not considered. The results of this study suggest that untreated regulatory disordered infants may not outgrow behavioral difficulties over time.
