Results: Most of the children (24, 68.6%) had test results compatible with normal development, while 10 (28.6%) had a “risk” test and 1 (2.9%) was “untestable” due to refusal to carry out the proposed activities. As to the items evaluated in each area, 7 children (20%) showed a developmental “delay” (when the child does not perform the activity passed by more than 90% of the children of his/her age) and 18 (51%) required “attention” (when the child does not perform the activity passed by 75 to 90% of the children of his/her age), predominantly in the language area.

Conclusions: Although most of the children (68.6%) presented normal development in the test, we point out that in the remaining children (31.4%), the number of items classified as “delay” or “attention”, and tests classified as “risk” or “untestable” suggest impairment in neuropsychomotor development.

Stage of development Children n% Infant 5 14.3 Toddler 19 54.3 Pre-school 11 31.4 Total 35 100 *Infant: children aged up to 12 months; **Toddler: children aged from one to three years; ***Pre-school: children aged from three to six years. Data collection occurred after approval of the research project by the Scientific Commission of the Nursing School of Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein and by the institutional Research Ethics Committee (CAAE: 0160.0.028.000-08); authorization was also obtained from the administration of the outpatient clinic where the data were collected. The data were collected in the second semester of 2008, by means of DDST-R administration, and the materials used were: a red woolen pompom with a thread; a rattle with a narrow handle; raisins; a small bell; ten 2.5-cm 3 colored wooden blocks; a clear pot with narrow opening; a tennis ball; a red pencil; a small plastic doll with a toy baby bottle; a plastic mug with handles and blank paper ( ). Data were quantitatively analyzed using descriptive statistics, and expressed as absolute numbers and percentages, in the format of tables, considering the criteria of test result interpretation.

Each DDST-R item is correlated with the age and percentage of the standard population that performed one given item or behavior. Each of the items evaluated is classified as. Normal: when the child performs an activity expected for their age or does not perform an activity passed by less than 75% of the children of the same age; –. Attention: when the child does not perform or refuses to perform an activity passed by 75 to 90% of the children of the same age; –. Delay: when the child does not perform or refuses to perform an activity passed by more than 90% of the children of the same age (, –, ). According to the interpretation of the items, the test can be classified as: normal, when the child has no developmental “delay”, or requires attention, at most; risk, when the child's test has two or more items classified as requiring attention and/or one or more items showing developmental “delay”; and untestable, when the child “refuses” to perform the activity of one or more items with the age line completely to the right (i.e., activity passed by almost all children) or of more than one item with the age line in the area where 75 to 90% of the children pass that item (,, ). RESULTS The development of the majority of the children assessed (24; 68.5%) was compatible with their age range; the tests of 10 children (28.6%) was classified as “risk”, and only 1 (2.9%) was “untestable”.
