The concept of Risky Baby is becoming increasingly important in our country, as it is all over the world. Especially as a result of research conducted in the field of neuroscience, it has been found that the first year is golden for brain development and the effectiveness of the interventions made during this period has been demonstrated, and Risky Baby Early Intervention Programs have attracted attention. This valuable period should not be missed in order to minimize the problems that these babies may experience in the future and to make the intervention more effective.
There are many scientifically valid and reliable tools for the early detection of problems that babies may experience in the future. Thanks to these equipment and methods such as MRI imaging performed by physicians, babies in the risk group can be identified from an early age and begin rehabilitation programs. In particular, detecting a neurological problem such as Cerebral Palsy at the earliest stage and conducting therapy in collaboration with the physician-family-therapist minimizes the problems that these children may experience in the future.
Just as there is specialization in every field, the field of Risky Baby There is a valid specialization in it. The therapy program for Risky Babies is carried out more effectively thanks to therapists who have completed their undergraduate education or have trained themselves in this field with globally valid courses. Risky Babies will be in much safer hands thanks to therapists who know the valid evaluation, therapy and follow-up programs in this field.
Early intervention programs for Risky Babies in America are available in every state according to federal laws. In some states, early intervention programs may even continue until the child is 5 years old. As a result of the fact that there are no such programs in Turkey yet and sometimes these babies are neglected due to the family-doctor-therapist, much more serious problems may arise in the future. It is an unavoidable fact that the activity levels of these babies decrease due to the problems they experience in the future, their participation in daily life is restricted and their quality of life decreases. However, with a correct therapy program carried out in the early stages, these problems can be minimized and children can live a life close to their peers.
Early intervention for risky babies is a situation that should be taken seriously. The most precious time can be wasted with approaches such as "It will get better over time, let's wait and see", "His father also walked late". A therapy program that is carried out more effectively in the early period turns into dealing with problems that grow like a snowball as a result of delay. Or, existing problems may become much more serious as a result of unconscious or misdirection by therapists who have no training or experience in this regard.
Considering all these details, families should definitely contact experienced and trained therapists in this field if there is a suspicious situation. They should be aware that every moment of their baby is very precious and should not be wasted.
