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.

(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Ciencias Médicas, 2026-03-04) Jiménez Parra, Ana Paula; Otavalo Sisalima, Karina Estefanía; Brito Criollo, Tania Alexandra
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.

(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Ciencias Médicas, 2026-03-05) Giler Vasquez, Merilyn Dayana; Macas Aguilar, Emily Cristina; Villalta Chungata, Blanca Cecilia
The objective of this research was to evaluate the neurological development of children treated at the Paccha Health Centre using the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE). It is a quantitative, descriptive cross-sectional cohort study, and the SPSS platform was used for tabulation. The HINE is an internationally validated and standardised neurological examination with 90% sensitivity. It consists of 26 quantifiable items that assess cranial nerves, posture, movements, muscle tone, reflexes and postural reactions. It generates scores that classify development as optimal, requiring follow-up or with a high probability of cerebral palsy (CP), in addition to recording asymmetries. It was administered to 50 infants aged 3 to 18 months (26 males and 24 females). The results revealed that 40% required ongoing neurological follow-up and 6% had a high probability of CP, with females predominating in this condition. Within the group with a high probability of CP, 4% were fullterm births and 2% were moderate to late preterm births. These findings highlight the usefulness of the HINE as an early detection tool in primary care settings, allowing for the timely identification of neurological disorders that could lead to long-term sequelae, underscoring the importance of preventive interventions and specialised follow-up, especially in vulnerable populations with risk factors such as prematurity.
