Abstract
The Amiel‐Tison Neurological Assessment at Term (ATNAT) is part of a set of three different instruments based on a neuro‐maturative framework. By sharing a same methodology and a similar scoring system, the use of these three assessments prevents any rupture in the course of high risk children follow‐up from 32 weeks post‐conception to 6 years of age. The ATNAT which takes 5 minutes to administer may be used in clinical setting as well as in research. Clustering of severe to mild neuro‐cranial signs in the neonatal period permits identification of children who could benefit from early intervention. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
