Study of the Interprofessional Reproducibility of a Clinical Observation Scale for the Development of Very Premature Infants
Sponsor: University Hospital, Toulouse
Summary
The research concerns the study of the interprofessional reproducibility of a grid for observing the development of premature infants from 1 to 6 months corrected age. No tool is available to characterize the mechanisms of early developmental processes and their deviations. We propose an analytical observation grid of developmental mechanisms in the first few months, in order to identify warning signs of developmental deviations and help define the nature and type of early care for vulnerable infants.
Official title: Study of the Interprofessional Reproducibility of a Clinical Observation Scale for the Development of Very Premature Infants Aged 1 to 6 Months Corrected, for the Very Early Detection of Developmental Disorders.

SPIN-NA Developmental Observation Grid Assessment via Home-Based Standardized Video Recording
The SPIN-NA intervention consists of an analytical assessment of development using a standardized clinical observation grid. Infants are filmed at home once between 1 and 6 months of corrected age in their family environment by the creators of the grid. The filmed observation includes structured observation scenarios designed to assess eight areas of development: stress signals, physiological and tonic regulation, perceptual abilities of different sensory channels, exploratory appetite, manipulative activities, child interactions and communication, emotional expressions and expressiveness, parent-child interactions: parental adaptation to the child's behavior.The videos are evaluated independently by five experienced psychomotor therapists trained together in the use of the SPINNA grid. No treatment or physical intervention is administered; the intervention is observational and non-invasive, aimed at validating the reproducibility of the grid in a real-world context.
