The parents of a child born at 36 weeks of gestation who had respiratory problems requiring 3 days of oxygen therapy are concerned that the infant may have an intellectual impairment

c. "The baby is not at risk for an intellectual impairment.".

B
Routine assessment of development from birth is the best method for early detection of problems. Intellectual impairment may be detected before school age. The baby may be at risk for an intellectual impairment as a result of poor oxygenation. The Denver Developmental Screening test may be unreliable for children younger than 3 years, but other assessment tools are available. Several neuropsychological tests are available.
