Neonatal intensive care follow-up clinics are a necessary adjunct to neonatal intensive care. They provide families with the support and advice they need following neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) discharge. They provide feedback regarding the child’s ongoing health and development to families, pediatricians, neonatologists, and obstetricians. Most important, to optimize neurodevelopmental outcomes, serial developmental assessments facilitate early diagnosis and referral for specific early interventions when neuroplasticity may be at its peak.
