Abstract
Children born at very low birthweight (VLBW) are at an increased risk for altered brain development or injury. This risk is associated with increased cognitive, attention, and behavioural impairments, and poorer academic achievement. These impairments have been found to persist into adulthood1 and adversely affect life chances. For many years, the focus of interventions to improve cognitive abilities and behaviour of VLBW children has been to improve early mother‐child interaction and to provide increased cognitive stimulation during infancy or toddlerhood. However, these early interventions have had limited long‐term success for VLBW children.2
