In determining the extent of developmental delay, an adjustment for children born prematurely must be applied as follows:
- (1) age is adjusted for children born before 37 weeks gestation and is based on a 40-week term;
- (2) the developmental age must be measured against the adjusted age rather than chronological age until the child is 18 months old; and
- (3) the age adjustment cannot exceed 16 weeks.
