About the Study

The Very Early Intensive Enrichment Program (VIP) is a clinical trial investigating very early intervention for infants at high risk of cerebral palsy, combined with wellbeing support for parents and caregivers. The program is delivered from 0-4 weeks corrected age once an infant is discharged from hospital up until they are 6 months corrected age. The VIP intervention includes weekly home-based therapy for infants delivered by an allied health team (physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech pathology), alongside weekly telehealth wellbeing support for parents delivered by a psychologist or social worker.
