What to expect in the clinic
You and your child will meet with our multidisciplinary team of physicians and therapists. At each visit, the team provides a thorough developmental and feeding assessment, as well as a medical screening.
We are available to see your infant regularly during the first 2 years of life. The team will make recommendations as to the frequency of visits. The first visit is generally four to eight weeks after discharge. Subsequent visits are typically at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months adjusted age (based on due date).
The team will work closely with your primary care doctor, and send follow-up reports to your child's pediatrician after each visit. If we recommend ongoing services, such as home programs, our case coordinator will provide you with information regarding services and facilities that are close to your home and that best meet your child's needs.
