Secondary Axis: 
Health Outcomes
Research Focus: 

The validation of neonatal neurobehavioral assessments with high predictive power, which will facilitate the identification and referral of high risk infants to early intervention services, is Dr. Snider's current interest. The long term goal is to improve developmental and functional outcomes of high risk infants.Extremely low birth weight infants, neonatal follow-up, neurobehavioural status, outcome measures, validity, impairment
