Brief Summary

The PRéPaR project aims to construct, with the help of parents and early care providers, a support program for the families of infants at an increased risk for neurodevelopmental disorders, and to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of such a program. This program aims to strengthen parenting skills, support infant development and improve the continuity of hospital/non-hospital care, including early identification of neurodevelopmental motor disorders and continuation of the support initiated during neonatal hospitalization.
