Item Herramientas más utilizadas para la evaluación del desarrollo psicomotor y neurocognitivo en niños menores de 3 años: Revisión de alcance 2000-2025(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2025) Millan Castro, Aura Maria; Roldán Santacruz, Laura Isabella; Garcés Aguilar, Sebastián; Hidalgo Ibarra, Sirsa Aleida (Directora)Psychomotor and neurocognitive development during early childhood is essential for acquiring skills that support learning, autonomy, and social interaction. Early detection of developmental delays can significantly improve outcomes, especially in Hispanic America, where health service access is uneven. This scoping review aimed to identify the tools used to assess psychomotor and neurocognitive development in children under three years old in Spanish-speaking countries, describing their use and application contexts. A search was conducted in scientific databases (PubMed, SciELO, LILACS, Scopus, among others), including reviews published between 2000 and 2025. Twenty-four articles were included. The most reported tools were Bayley-III, Denver II, Battelle, Haizea-Llevant, and DSM-V. Bayley-III and DSM-V are mainly used in clinical settings, while Denver II and Haizea-Llevant are more common in community and educational contexts due to their simplicity. Disparities in tool usage were observed, mainly due to limited resources, lack of cultural adaptation, and inadequate professional training. The review concludes that while several tools are available, their effective implementation in Hispanic America requires contextual adaptation, professional training, and supportive public policies to integrate developmental screening into routine pediatric care.
