Abstract
Developmental intervention for infants with perinatal asphyxia requires an individualized therapeutic plan. A team approach incorporating developmental goals and intervention strategies into the nursing care of these infants is essential for optimal developmental outcome. Therapeutic management must always be appropriate for the infant's health status, gestational age, and organizational capabilities. An understanding of the neurophysiologic basis for intervention and the therapeutic management techniques for infants who are sick, recuperating, or convalescing will help the nurse to promote optimal development when caring for the asphyxiated infant.
