Desempeño cognitivo y académico en escolares con antecedentes perinatales y vulnerabilidad social en un hospital público de la provincia de Buenos Aires

Abstract

Cognitive Development (CD) and Academic Performance (AP) of children who presented perinatal and social vulnerability risk factors are a topic of interest in health and education. Therefore, the aim of this research is to characterize CD and AP of a population with these characteristics, which was accompanied by professional interventions from the transdisciplinary follow-up team.Information was collected from pediatric and psychopedagogical medical records of thirty patients. The WISC IV Intelligence test was used; school reports were requested, and a socio-economic level survey was administered, which included information regarding stimulating learning at home.Most of the children showed average levels in CD and good AP. Socio-environmental factors and received interventions associated with them were identified. Early transdisciplinary interventions (ETI), contextualized and long-term, are favorable for DC and DA. Consequently, they should be considered in follow-up programs for similar populations.
