Our Infant Development & Follow-Up Clinic provides ongoing evaluation
and monitoring for young children who may be at increased risk for developmental
or medical challenges. Our team works with families to monitor development,
identify emerging needs, and coordinate appropriate follow-up and referrals.
Eligibility is based on your child's medical history and the clinic's
referral criteria.
This clinic does not replace a child’s pediatrician or well-child
check-ups. It is for children who need continued monitoring, care coordination,
and early interventions. Though most children may have had a prolonged
stay in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) throughout our region, a
previous NICU admission is
not required for every child.
Your child may qualify if they meet one or more of the following criteria:
Born before 32 weeks gestation.
Had a birth weight of less than 1,500 grams (approximately 3 pounds, 5 ounces).
Received therapeutic hypothermia (cooling treatment) for hypoxic-ischemic
encephalopathy (HIE).
Required prolonged or intensive heart or breathing support.
Received treatment for neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS).
Have been diagnosed with a genetic syndrome.
Requires ongoing medical support, such as supplemental oxygen, a feeding
tube, or a tracheostomy.
Parents and caregivers may talk with their child's healthcare provider
about whether the Infant Development & Follow-Up Clinic may be appropriate.
