Abstract
This research aims to contribute to the knowledge of the educational profile in performance and identify new morbidities at school age of preterm infants less than 1501 g born in 2000 at the University Hospital La Paz in Madrid.

The language was assessed by BLOC-SR test and it has obtained results that show low-linguistic communicative profile, besides a repetition rate of 36%. The data show positive correlations between biomedical variables as birth weight, gestational age, APGAR and birth size and psychoeducational variables. We conclude that participants in our study showed more likely to have difficulties in the communicative-linguistic area this chronological age.
