Abstract

This paper derives from one section of the thesis “Perceptual-motor skills evaluation in children of about two years old, whose mothers presented arterial hypertension” (MORAES, 1997). The objective was screening the presence of perceptual-motor damage in children with hypertensive mothers. The method of evaluation used was the Denver Developmental Screening Test, complemented by a structural study. It was necessary to countersign and characterise the concept of development so that it became consistent with the practice and the view of the researcher. It is important to mention that the study began from some development risks and reached resilience. Because of this, it is believed that this essay is very important to people that work with health, emphasising leveis of human development.
