Child development has been a subject of frequent study considering the various risk factors cited in the literature. The aim of this study was to evaluate the motor behavior of children born at term in the Northwest region of Santos. Fifty children, of both sexes, aged between zero and under 12 months participated in the study and were evaluated by the Child Behavior Development Scale in the first year of life. The participants were divided into three groups: normal development (ND), regular development (RD), risk or delay group (RDG). The results showed that 48% of the children evaluated were classified with risk or delayed development. We concluded that children who live in peripheral regions should participate in screening and intervention programs so their chances of presenting a risky development could be minimized.Downloads
