Abstract
The main aim of this study was to evaluate childhood neural development in the Arhuaco indigineous population in the preschool age group. The study was based on a global and overall assessment of specific neural development areas or processes, assessing four core aspects: gross motor skills, fine motor skills, audition and speech and personal and social skills, using a child development abbreviated scale designed by Nelson-Ortiz, validated in our country. The scale was applied to 55 children aged six years or less with no chronic diseases or comorbidities, in the towns of Nabusimake and Pueblo Bello, Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta, obtaining prior consent from their parents and the local indigenous authorities, in April 2009.
