Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Program

Caring for the head, as well as the heart

Cardiologists are now working with psychologists and neurologists to minimize neurological problems that may occur after surgery and other interventions for congenital heart disease. Specialists in the Boston Children's Hospital Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Program become involved early, assessing the neurological development of these children.

This video shows how we do our assessments and features discussion about the impact of the assessments on children's lives and growth.
