A Novel Parent Education Program for Early Intervention

United States20 participantsStarted 2018-01-17

Plain-language summary

One in ten infants born in the USA is born preterm before 37 weeks of gestation and 50% of those will have motor and cognitive delays requiring intervention at school age. Because existing assessments do not reliably identify motor and cognitive delays early in development, many infants born preterm do not receive early intervention until they are older and their delays are more pronounced. This project aims to address the need for an effective, affordable, novel early intervention model for the first months of life for preterm infants.
