Observation of sensory-motor behavior is a key part of this approach and requires specific training and the use of observation tools. This study analyzes the use of an illustrated guide during the observation and evaluation of the sensory-motor behavior of the premature baby; this didactic contribution constitutes a real added value for the professionals, allowing the elaboration of a care project.
