| Description | The paper deals with the issue of newborn with low birth weight as a result of premature birth. These immature children are at risk of risky psychomotor development, manifested by various forms of mild developmental disorders to truly severe developmental disabilities involving various areas (mental, neurological, motor, sensory or combined disabilities). These disabilities have a detrimental, negative impact on the quality of life of children during their development, but they also affect the family and close surroundings of the child, and may also cause a number of other difficulties. In the Czech Republic, the system of care of low birth weight newborns is at a very high medical and non-medical level, but there is no more sophisticated after-care system that would make it possible to improve the quality of life of these children and their families as much as possible. The paper draws attention to the necessity of a comprehensive solution of the issue and focuses on the need for high-quality early 106psychological developmental diagnostics for early initiation of appropriate intervention. In particular, it discusses the need for Bayley scale adaptation (BSID-III) for the Czech environment and presents the benefits of this diagnostic method, for example compared to previous versions, which are widely used as a diagnostic tool for evaluating psychomotor development in early childhood development (especially BSID-II). |
