. The increasing number of surviving very small and high risk pre term neonates necessitates an understanding of neuro‐developmental assessment of these infants. Some relevant aspects of development are reviewed, and the many factors which may influence the type and quality of response during assessment are discussed. A rationale and method of assessment is presented and the interpretation of results discussed.
