High risk infant follow up Clinic
Infant spends time in Neonatal I.C.U because of problem that call for special care. While most of
these problems are not long term, we know now that some children who require intensive care at
birth are at a greater risk than normal for Developmental delay. However these delays can be reduced if
they are identified and addressed early on.
Who are at risk for developmental delay?
Neonates with..
- Low birth wt
- Premature and ventilated
- Birth asphyxia
- Congenital anomalies
- Chromosomal anomalies
- Respiratory distress syndrome
- Septicemia ( infection)
- Hearing and vision difficulty
- Brain hemorrhage
- Seizures
- Nutritional deprivation
“The high risk infant follow up program” provides children who have been in NICU with periodic developmental assessments. We would like to offer this service to your family during your child's early years. We feel that both you & your child can benefit from the program. A delay/ deviation in development may be detected early, evaluated and therapy can be started if it is appropriate. This reduces the chances of further developmental delay.
“The high risk infant follow up program” provides periodic evaluation of your child at Rainbow Children's Hospital.
This evaluation takes place when your child is (6 weeks, 4 month, 9 month, 18 month and 2½ years and 3&1/2yrs).
The evaluation includes developmental screening test & a routine physical exam to see how your child is progressing in gross motor skills such as rolling, sitting, walking, fine motor such as tracking, reaching & grasping objects, eye hand co-ordination skills, language skills such as cooing, babbling, first word, social interaction such as smiling & reacting to strangers.
Thus, 'high risk infant follow up program' provides comprehensive evaluation of follow up services for children form birth to age 3½ years. Our services are geared to improving or baby's growth development of nutritional states.
Our main objective of high risk infant follow up program is to detect any medical, neurological or developmental abnormalities & provide early intervention if needed.
