Background: The development of social and adaptative skills is essential for children’s overall growth, particularly for those living in institutional care, who are often exposed to vulnerability, disrupted attachment, and adverse emotional experiences that may affect their social and functional maturity. Objective: To evaluate the level of social and adaptative skills in children living at the Hogar Infantil Tadeo Torres through the application of the Vineland-3 Social Maturity Scale. Methodology: A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted. The Vineland-3 Scale was not applied directly to the children; instead, it was administered their caregivers, who responded to the items based on the behaviors observed in the children. The information was complemented with sociodemographic data collected though a structures form. Results: The findings showed that 72% of the boys and girls presented low (32%) or moderately low (40%) levels of social maturity, with difficulties mainly in areas of autonomy, communication, and socialization interaction. Furthermore, the analysis of sociodemographic variables contributed to understanding that adaptative development is influenced by relational and contextual factors inherent to the institutional environment. Conclusions: It is concluded that children living in institutional care at the Hogar Infantil Tadeo Torres exhibit a predominantly low adaptative profile, influenced by conditions of institutionalization and the quality of their affective experiences. These findings highlight the importance of addressing child development from an integral and contextualized perspective, aimed at strengthening emotional, social, and adaptative skills through sensitive caregiving practices and timely intervention strategies.

We conducted a study that evaluated the quality of care that eleven private Child Development Centers from the peripheral urban area of the canton Cuenca provided, from January to June 2009. We used a quantitative descriptive method, using a form that assessed the quality of care of each child development center, assessing the infrastructure, care process, capacity and skill of caregivers, and family participation. A scale of 100 points was used, assigning 25 points to each variable. Once the information was collected, the data was tabulated, analyzed, and presented in frequency tables, using the statistical program SPSS. The results indicated that only 27.27% of children's institutions score high in quality of care, and also show that only 27.27% have legal registration in the Cantonal Council of Childhood and Adolescence. The results also indicated that only 9.09% of those institutions integrate children with disabilities in their programs. The data obtained will be used in the pursuit of "Improving the Quality of Care for Children with Development Disorders" that is carried out by the research division of the University of Cuenca, being the children the ultimate beneficiaries.

Background: Sensory development is fundamental in childhood for growth and adaptation to the environment. Stimuli allow children to interact and respond appropriately. When this processing is altered, difficulties arise that affect behavior, learning, and daily activities. Sensory integration is growing in importance due to its relationship with various conditions that affect school and social adaptation. Research on sensory profiles is limited, making it difficult to apply early stimulation strategies. CEDIUC offers a space to assess sensory patterns in children with disabilities and risk factors, understanding their needs. To this end, Winnie Dunn's Sensory Profile 2 tool is used to identify atypical sensory responses, facilitating an appropriate approach to behavior from a neurosensory perspective. Objective: To evaluate the sensory profile of children aged 3 to 8 who attend CEDIUC using the PS-2 Test. Cuenca 2025-2026. Methods: Quantitative, observational, and descriptive study. Focused on assessing the sensory profile of children using the PS-2 Winnie Dunn tool through interviews with legal representatives.
