Helping the Preemie Catch Up to his Peers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nine months development in the womb is the ideal. Less than that is less than the ideal. Nowadays with so many technological advances, babies born much earlier than full term will live and remain healthy but they will often be missing a significant facet of their development. Instead of spending the full term of the pregnancy in a protective, enveloping womb, preemies<\/strong> emerge into the world when they are not yet prepared for the environment, which demands of them to be more independent and higher functioning.<\/p>\n

Prematurity<\/strong> may come along with a range of side effects and medical complications that can influence the child\u2019s course of development, especially throughout the early years. There are rare preemies<\/strong> who do not experience any medical or developmental problems and whom the early birth will \u201cpass right by\u201d without leaving an impression. But they are few and far between.<\/p>\n

Caring for a newborn is all-consuming. Caring for a preemie<\/strong> is even more so. Therefore, small problems can so easily go unnoticed resulting in bigger problems later on as the child matures.<\/p>\n

Always in the forefront of prophylactic therapy to avoid cognitive, motor, social challenges down the line, Ezer Mizion will be undertaking an informative workshop series to provide parents with the tools they need to help close the gap between their preemie\u2019s development and that of his peers.<\/p>\n

Is my child\u2019s development within the normal range?<\/a> What challenges are common in preemies<\/strong>?\u00a0 What exercises will be beneficial for various specific needs? How can I access government funding for therapy?\u00a0 All these \u2018question marks\u2019 will be address by qualified professionals in a twenty-session workshop. Many of the 90-minute sessions will consist of hands-on demonstrations of exercises by top people in their field. Others will be round-table style focusing on discussion and supportive exchange of information.<\/p>\n

Ezer Mizion\u2019s Children\u2019s Division provides many services for children with varied issues. A special needs kindergarten and regular therapy by trained developmental aides are two of the many programs available for children. Issues in children originate from many sources, premature<\/strong> delivery being one of them.\u00a0\u00a0 A significant amount of problems that are caused by premature<\/strong> birth can be alleviated or even eliminated by early intervention. \u00a0Creating awareness in the parent population is the first step and will hopefully help to avoid all the emotional distress later in life by both parent and child as the child finds he just doesn\u2019t fit in and cannot relate to his peers socially or accomplish the same academic tasks as easily as they do.<\/p>\n

As always, Ezer Mizion attempt to work on two fronts in an attempt to not only repair an already existent problem but also prevent it from arising and becoming an impediment to smooth functioning in day-to-day life.<\/p>\n

Ezer Mizion provides services to over 660,000 of Israel\u2019s population annually in addition to its Bone Marrow Registry which saves the lives of Jewish cancer patients the world over.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"pinterest\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
