Abstract
This article focuses on recent progress in the understanding of optimal care for the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) graduate in three domains that have relevance to primary care pediatricians: the concept of developmentally supportive care for the immature central nervous system of fragile premature infants; an understanding of the function and systems of community-based early intervention available for medically complex, developmentally challenged and at-risk infants; and the management of technology-dependent children at home.
