Preterm infants: neurodevelopmental follow-up
“Henri Sliwowski” Reference Centre for the neurodevelopmental follow-up of children born very preterm.  Image The Reference Centre Follow-up of very preterm infants: essential support for a brighter futureThe birth of a very preterm infant is both a profoundly challenging and hopeful experience. Thanks to remarkable progress in paediatric medicine, the survival chances of babies born before 32 weeks of pregnancy or weighing less than 1,500 grams have improved considerably.However, these advances come with new challenges: such children remain at increased risk of developing motor, cognitive, and socio-emotional difficulties, as well as behavioural disorders or sensory impairments.This is why specific and regular follow-up is essential. It not only allows potential difficulties to be detected at an early stage, but also provides the opportunity to introduce tailored solutions that support the child’s future development.This programme is designed to give children born very preterm the best possible chance to thrive, while offering families reassurance and support tailored to their needs.%20secmed [dot] neuroped [at] hubruxelles [dot] be (Envoyer un message) Care that keeps pace with medical progress Follow-up is based on a multidisciplinary approach that brings together various experts: paediatricians, a paediatric neurologist, physiotherapists, psychomotor therapists, speech and language therapists, and neuropsychologists.The follow-up includes four assessments (A, B, C, D) scheduled at 6 months, 1 year, 2.5 years and 5 years of age.If further follow-up is required, doctors will refer you to external therapists (speech therapist, physiotherapist, psychomotor therapist, psychologist), depending on your child’s specific needs.  The aim is to intervene as early as possible in order to: Stimulate motor development in cases of delay or motor difficulties.Promote harmonious cognitive development, particularly in the presence of learning difficulties.Support parent–child interactions to help prevent potential relational difficulties.Monitor sensory abilities, such as vision and hearing, which may be affected by prematurity.Recent studies confirm that early screening, combined with prompt intervention, can significantly improve the quality of life of both children and their families. Dr Florence Christiaens PHU – Department of Paediatric Neurology, Hôpital Universitaire de BruxellesPhysician, Paediatric Neurology, Specialist in Rehabilitation"The follow-up of very preterm infants is a genuine breakthrough in child health. It represents an essential safety net, ensuring that these fragile children receive optimal development and tailored support to meet their needs.Your child has already shown incredible strength by coming into the world earlier than expected. With this follow-up, you can be confident that they will receive the support needed to grow and flourish, step by step, by your side." Prendre rendez-vous  Image A team of specialists by your side Vojtech Stejskal, Ludovic Legros – NeonatologistsFlorence Christiaens – Paediatric NeurologistBrigitte de Bast, Anne Goffart, Anne Soquay – PhysiotherapistsMorgane Colin, Camille Schlogel – Neuropsychologists / PsychologistsMarie-Amélie Ponteville – Speech and Language Therapist Partners The activity of the accredited centre for the follow-up of very preterm infants, Henri Szliwowski, takes place on two sites: the H.U.B.
