Healing Tiny Minds: Virtual Abecedarian Approach for Children with HIE or Premature Birth

This study, called "Healing Tiny Minds," is looking at a program called the Abecedarian Approach. This program helps young children learn and develop. Researchers want to see if delivering this program virtually to children ages 0-5 who had Hypoxic Ischaemic Encephalopathy (HIE - a type of brain injury at birth) or were born prematurely works as well as in-person programs. The study will measure how satisfied parents are and how many sessions families attend. They plan to enroll 225 children and their parents. The current recruitment status is unclear.
