Methods: Qualitative research describing experiences in focal groups made by health workers and parents about knowledges and practices on sensorimotor development. Results: Parents and health workers had limited knowledges about sensorimotor development. They empowered the strategies about sensorimotor stimulation changing work scheemes at the unit.
