High Risk Infants

Substantial literature indicates that it is necessary that infants receive early intervention services to improve long-term outcomes after birth. The effectiveness of parents as agents of intervention in the childs home environment is gradually realized. However, there a significant gap between the intensive service requirements for low-birth-weight (LBW) infants because the intervention requires intense one-on-one supervision by highly trained care givers. Based on web technology, we developed a supporting system to inform and teach parents in the early intervention of high risk infants. Results show the web-based training as a promising method of early intervention helps these caregivers in their practice of caring the high risk babies and may help overcome problems associated with the critical shortage of neonatal professionals.

New Biomarkers

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Our objective was to establish a new protocol to evaluate new biomarkers to detect Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (NDD) in high-risk infants. As early intervention results in better outcomes, our goal was to implement the protocol to promote earlier NDD diagnosis and referral for treatment. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We implemented a new protocol using the General Movement Assessment (GMA), Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE), and Capute Scales to evaluate infants who were at high risk of NDD. To determine the success of our protocol with these biomarkers, we studied former premature infants who were evaluated in follow-up clinic from 10/1/2018-10/1/2019. We defined our primary and secondary outcomes as the ages of neurodevelopmental diagnoses and referral to early intervention services before and after implementation of the new protocol, respectively. Our hypotheses were that infants who were evaluated with these biomarkers would be diagnosed with NDD and be referred for treatment at younger ages than their counterparts. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Approximately 120 patients were evaluated during the time period that was defined. About half were evaluated prior to implementing the GMA and HINE, and the remainder were evaluated using GMA and other developmental measures. We anticipate that infants who underwent GMA will be diagnosed with NDD and referred for therapies at a younger age than their counterparts. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Through our translational research, we will transform the standard of care for high-risk infants by incorporating clinical biomarkers into day-to-day clinical care for these infants. Implementation of this novel protocol will promote the early diagnosis and referral to treatment for NDD.

High Risk Infants

Perinatal drug exposure costs our communities millions of dollars each year in hospital fees and in services such as foster care, child protection, and drug treatment. Infants and their families in this group require substantial long- term health care and community resources. Neonatal health care providers should take an active role in developing and implementing home visitation programs to support early hospital discharge and continuity of care for these high- risk infants and their families. Neonatal nurse practitioners should prepare in the future to practice not only in secondary- and tertiary-level neonatal centers, but also in follow-up clinics, long-term developmental centers, and the community. This article describes a home intervention program delivered by neonatal nurse practitioners for high-risk infants and their mothers. The target population is infants exposed prenatally to drugs and/or alcohol.

Children With Hearing Loss

A national survey was distributed to families of preschool-age children who are deaf or hard of hearing in order to investigate parent's perceptions of family involvement in early intervention programs, as intended by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (formerly P.L. 99-457). Questions were organized into five categories: (1) the family's experiences with their early intervention program, (2) information provided by their early intervention program, (3) experiences in writing the Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP), (4) demographic information concerning the family, and (5) demographic information concerning the child. Surveys were returned from all geographic regions of the United States, representing parents from a wide variety of backgrounds. Results indicate that although an IFSP had not been developed by almost one-half of the respondents, those who responded reported overall satisfaction with their early intervention program.
