Abstract

This article presents an instrument for assessing the sensory processing through the observation and record of preterm babies behavior. This instrument has 21 questions that must be answered with the babies’ parents. The main goal of this measure is to favor the parents’ abilities to observe and recognize their babies’ behaviors. This could favor the Goodness of Fit between the mother-father and the new born. This Goodness of Fit between the parents and the baby refers to the ability to recognize and read their babies’ cues and being able to answer in a satisfactory way to their new born needs. This could have an important effect on their babies’ regulation and on the parents feeling of efficacy in their role.
