Diseños metodológicos para el Módulo Vigilancia y promoción del desarrollo infantil temprano (DIT) de 0 a 2 años en el contexto del Zika

The package is designed to promote the development of infants and young children, with a focus on early detection and intervention of potential developmental delays or disorders. The package is structured around four main themes: Bases conceptuales del desarrollo infantil temprano (DIT), Factores de riesgo, signos de alarma y trastornos del neurodesarrollo, Vigilancia del desarrollo infantil, and Promoción del desarrollo infantil temprano. Each theme is further divided into subtopics, including determinants of development, neurodevelopment, plasticity of the brain, factors of risk and signs of alarm, clinical presentation of alterations in development, evaluation of development, and early interventions. The package includes a range of tools and resources, including tables, figures, and acronyms, to support the implementation of the pedagogical package. These tools include a table outlining the themes and subtopics of the package, a table of contents, and a list of acronyms and abbreviations. The package also includes a detailed outline of the time required for each theme, including time for presentation, facilitation, and integration of participants, as well as time for breaks and meals. This suggests that the package is designed to be implemented over a period of several days or weeks, with a focus on intensive training and support for facilitators and participants. The package is likely to be used in a variety of settings, including healthcare facilities, community centers, and schools, to promote the development of infants and young children and to support early detection and intervention of potential developmental delays or disorders. The package is also likely to be used in countries affected by the Zika virus, where there is a high risk of congenital Zika syndrome and other developmental disorders. The package is designed to be implemented by a range of professionals, including healthcare workers, educators, and community workers, who will be trained to use the package and to support the development of infants and young children. The package includes a range of resources and tools to support implementation, including training manuals, facilitator guides, and participant materials.
