This article provides an integrative review of the effectiveness of and possible developmental mechanisms associated with preventive interventions for preterm children. An analysis of randomized clinical trials carried out within the last 15 years was framed within a contemporary developmental model emphasizing the role of parental adjustments to preterm children's characteristics. Evidence suggested positive outcomes could be understood in terms of improvements in developmental pathways associated with parental sensitive-responsiveness and child participation in intensive intervention-oriented child care. Implications for the critical role of the Medical Home model for preventive interventions for preterm children were discussed. (J Dev Behav Pediatr 33:352-364, 2012)
