Introduction: Zika virus is transmitted by the bite of infected mosquitoes, but can also occur through intrauterine infection before delivery, and the virus passes to the fetus. Objective: to describe the level of impairment in performance skills and maturational age of children in the Courageous of the Future program with neonatal Zika virus infection. Materials and Methods: the research is framed with a quantitative approach of correlational type supported with a field research and non-experimental design, with a sample of 15 infants of 3, 4 and 5 years old. The collection technique used was the Abbreviated Scale. Results: Regarding the areas evaluated with respect to the maturational age, it was found that the weighting of motor skills and praxis found a correlation coefficient of 0,601 (moderate) and in the sample of the execution skills of 3-year-old children with gestational Zika, a correlation of 0,853 (strong) was obtained. Discussion: Zika virus infection in children, acquired during gestation, strongly limits the performance skills characteristic of the maturational age in this population. Conclusions: there is correlation between infants with gestational zika and the strong affectation in the actions or behaviors that a patient has to move and interact physically with activities, objects and therefore perform a learned motor activity.
