Infant Development Follow up Clinic

2025

The IDFC provides developmental follow-up of children from 3 months to 5 years of age who have developmental risk factors due to prematurity (born at 32 weeks gestation or earlier), low birth weight (under 1500 grams/ 3 pounds, 5 ounces) or prenatal exposure to drugs. The clinic was established in 1977 with the goal of providing early identification and referral for early intervention for developmental and behavioral problems associated with prematurity, drug exposure and other biomedical and environmental risk factors. Our team of experts works together to assess children's health and development and connect families with resources as needed. IDFC uses an interdisciplinary assessment process and includes a thorough evaluation of developmental skills, measurement of growth, and a brief physical examination to supplement services the child is provided by the clinical team. Disciplines involved in IDFC care include Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics, Neurology, Neonatology, Advanced Nursing, speech-Language Pathology, Audiology, Clinical Psychology, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy and Social Work.
