“…The Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) is the most popular assessment tool for evaluating cognition. The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) is for higher age, although some overlapping age bands exist around 6 to 7 years [41]. When interpreting the different results of each evaluation tool around this age, clinicians should remember that the two tests can produce a different cognitive profile, and WISC could result in lower scores on the subtest of vocabulary, matrix reasoning, and bug/symbol search compared to WPPSI [41].…”

The survival rate of children admitted in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) after birth is on the increase; hence, proper evaluation and care of their neurodevelopment has become an important issue. Neurodevelopmental assessments of individual domains regarding motor, language, cognition, and sensory perception are crucial in planning prompt interventions for neonates requiring immediate support and rehabilitation treatment. These assessments are essential for identifying areas of weakness and designing targeted interventions to improve future functional outcomes and the quality of lives for both the infants and their families. However, initial stratification of risk to select those who are in danger of neurodevelopmental disorders is also important in terms of cost-effectiveness. Efficient and robust functional evaluations to recognize early signs of developmental disorders will help NICU graduates receive interventions and enhance functional capabilities if needed. Several age-dependent, domain-specific neurodevelopmental assessment tools are available; therefore, this review summarizes the characteristics of these tools and aims to develop multidimensional, standardized, and regular follow-up plans for NICU graduates in Korea.
