 Background Preterm infants are high risk for delayed neurodevelopment. Early intervention programs for preterm infants that focus on development while the babies are still in the hospital and post discharge from the hospital, and into the community setting may have a greater impact on long-term morbidity as they are able to focus more on family factors and the home environment. Interventions that are aimed at enhancing the parent-infant relationship focus on sensitizing the families to infants cues and teach appropriate and timely response to the preterm infants needs, possibly that early high-quality parent-infant or mother-infant interactions positively influence cognitive and social development in children. Despite of those evidences, the role of the family applying those programs at home is not well studied especially in social deprived environments.
