Project Initiate: Transition to Community Therapy Services After NICU Discharge

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Motor Delay

In brief

Project Initiate is a pilot study of early neuromotor outcomes in high risk newborn infants who are referred to Early Intervention services after NICU discharge. The investigators hypothesize that infants with Medicaid insurance who have prompt access to weekly post-discharge therapy services will have better early neuromotor function at 3 months corrected age and better parent satisfaction than infants who receive only care coordination to help with Early Intervention enrollment and locating outpatient transitional services as indicated.
