Study Overview
Brief Summary
Within the scope of the study, it was planned that risky babies would be treated with the SAFE early intervention approach for 10 weeks after they were discharged from the intensive care unit. Neurodevelopmental Treatment was applied to the control group. Sensory, motor and language development of the babies were evaluated before and after the intervention.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Test of Infant Motor Profile
Time Frame: 10 weeks
High numerical scores indicate that infants notice and respond to stimuli less than their peers, meaning the infant is hypersensitive, while low numerical scores indicate that infants notice and respond to stimuli more than their peers, or are hypersensitive.
Secondary Outcomes
- Infant/Toddler Sensory Profile 2(10 weeks)
- Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition,(10 weeks)
- Infant/Toddler HOME Inventory(10 weeks)
