Neonatal Follow Up Clinic

Our Neonatal Follow-up Clinic works hand-in-hand with our NICU to provide care and resources after discharge of our smallest and sickest babies. Our team consists of neonatologists, a clinic nurse, occupational therapist, speech and language pathologist and a developmental-behavioural pediatrician.

We follow babies who are at high risk of developmental challenges due to complications or conditions present at birth or early in their lives, to ensure monitoring of all developmental milestones and early intervention where indicated. Babies are seen from soon after discharge from the NICU (usually around six to eight weeks corrected age) until school age, with the aim of ensuring that all children have the best chance of being successful at realizing their dreams and potential. All children should be able to look forward to learning and making friends.

Visits generally last about an hour, but some can be longer when specific, tailored needs are addressed (family history and maternal pre-natal and birth history). Results of your child’s evaluation will be discussed with you at each appointment.
