Are evaluators required to adjust for chronological age, when conducting an evaluation of a child with a history of prematurity, to determine initial or ongoing eligibility?
Decisions regarding the use of adjusted age for children with a history of prematurity should be made by clinicians on the evaluation team, as appropriate to the clinical situation and the test/diagnostic assessment instrument being used in the evaluation process. Evaluation reports should clearly state the amount and type of adjustment that was made during developmental assessments, if any.
