Summary

With over 22 years of experience in the motor and cognitive development of healthy infants and children aged 0 to 60 months, I have successfully applied Early Childhood Development scales such as the Munich Functional Diagnosis and the Bayley III Child Development Scale. My approach has been distinguished by a combination of strong research knowledge and knowledge systematization, as well as my ability to organize and effectively convey information.

Throughout my career, I have conducted motor and cognitive development follow-ups in infants and children up to 3 years old, assessing risks and providing stimulation to over 700 healthy infants in my private practice. Additionally, I have designed the "Wawa's gym" program, based on neuroscience principles, to promote intelligence construction through meeting motor development milestones in the first year of life and executive function training in the first three years of childhood, with intellectual rights registered in the Senape of Bolivia.
