The data were analyzed by software Statistical Packcage for the Social Sciences version 20.0. RESULTS: Prevalence of the female gender, the age group of six years and the monthly income of up to one minimum wage. From the total of participants, it was observed that 20 (59,8%) presented the dyspraxic profile, 12 (35,2%) the normal profile and two (5,9%) the good profile. Correlating the psychomotor factors with the profile, it was observed that, with the exception of tonicity, all other six factors (balance, laterality, body notion, spatio-temporal structuring, global and fine praxis) obtained values ​​with the prevalence of scores 1 and 2, defining a psychomotor deficit due to low weight. It was also found that 16 (57,1%) children, even with recovery of nutritional status, still presented the dyspraxic profile. CONCLUSIONS: It is possible through joint actions of nutritional monitoring and intervention of psychomotricity, reestablish the low weight and favor an intervention directed to the psychomotor development of the child.
