Abstract
Preterm Children: In this chapter, we review neuropsychological outcomes among children born preterm and provide a case example of a 6-year-old girl who was born at 27 weeks. The chapter highlights the importance of assessing children born preterm at multiple stages in their early development, as well as the still common comorbid cognitive and behavioral issues observed in this population. These issues are put into context as they relate to the child’s neurological exam, the physician’s perspective of brain injury in premature newborns, as well as the role of neuropsychologists and benefits of early assessments.
