In this episode of The Virtual Curbside, host Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP, is joined by experts Sarah Winter, MD, and Laura Wood,  PhD, who explore the connection between congenital heart disease (CHD) and neurodevelopmental challenges. The conversation highlights the outpatient resources available to help children thrive - speech, developmental, occupational, and physical therapies - as well as the role of schools and IEPs in supporting growth and learning.

Listeners will also hear about the importance of early intervention programs, available in every state, and how families can be supported through the emotional and developmental challenges that often follow a traumatic birth or early months in the NICU.
