摘要:Prematurity (PT) and low birth weight (LBW) are risk factors for development, as well as psychosocial variables. These relationships were studied with 40 children PTLBW between 12-36 months old, assessed by the Bayley-III Screening Test (BSID-III), and their parents who answered the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL 1½-5 years old) and the interview for identifi cation of biopsychosocial risks; medical records were consulted. It was found more frequently at risk for developmental problems from cognitive and expressive language scales. It is noted the correlations between perinatal conditions and developmental problems; severe psychosocial risk and the receptive language and behavioral problems, and between these risks and expressive language and cognition. The results confi rmed the need for monitoring the development of these children, with assessment activities, early intervention and family care.
