Early detection and early intervention for infants born at high risk of neurodevelopmental impairments [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Alicia Spittle (Principal investigator)

Brief description Children born preterm, with brain injury and/or exposure to alcohol during pregnancy are at increased risk of neurodevelopmental impairments, including challenges with movement, cognition and behaviour. This fellowship will extend my current research to 1. identify those infants most at risk of neurodevelopmental impairments, especially cerebral palsy in the first few months after birth and 2. develop and test novel interventions to improve long term outcomes for these high risk infants.
