Bibliography
of the Long Term Effects of Prematurity
Bibliography
of follow-up studies prepared by Helen Harrision, author of The
Premature Baby, for parents to present to the school, the pediatrician,
and any other institution or person who deals with our children. The articles
"cover the range of the 'milder' issues from visual (non-ROP), visual/motor,
motor problems (that aren't called CP), behavioral, cognitive, learning
problems, scan abnormalities and relation (or lack of relation) to other
later problems."
