Abstract:
:Infants with congenital infections are at high risk for developmental disabilities. Because of this increased-risk status, they require comprehensive, longitudinal follow-up that should begin in the neonatal period with sensory, developmental, and neuromotor assessments as well as neuroradiological imaging. Reassessments of general development, sensory function, neuromotor abilities, and emerging language should be done during the early years, with cognitive, preacademic, and phonologic-awareness skills assessed during the preschool years. Serial evaluations of cognitive, academic, language, attention, neuromotor and sensory functions are needed through adolescence. Such surveillance of children with congenital infections is required to identify specific disabilities, to determine educational/intervention needs, and to investigate the total effects of congenital infection.
