Research project funded by NICHD to study subclinical deficits in very preterm children to improve early identification and intervention.
Description
The project aims to identify a subgroup of very preterm (VPT) children with subclinical deficits in attention, executive function, and social communication, and investigate early life precursors and functional impairments. The project will follow a cohort of 240 VPT children from ages 3 to 5, using data from neonatal and follow-up programs. The goal is to improve early identification and intervention strategies for at-risk children.
