| Abstract: | This study examines long-term outcomes for 82 children with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and low birth weight (LBW; 530-2,420 g) who participated in at least 18 months of early intervention. Outcomes were assessed at 71/2 and 81/2 years of age; the majority had average development and IQ scores. Grade III and IV IVH youngsters had lower developmental scores. Participants scored quite well compared to earlier IVH infant samples, suggesting early intervention and improved medical technology contribute improvements. Analyses demonstrated that, even in this medically compromised population, home environment characteristics were closely related to older verbal development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
