No: The question is not clear. Diagnostic evaluations exist for diagnosing learning disabilities in children. Administered by trained personnel, these tests can idrntify learning disorders in most children. I do not know of any such clinics specifically for premies. If anyone does, please comment.

Yes: premature infants are at risk for learning disabilities. Many academic programs have follow up programs which include developmental pediatricians, pediatric neurologists and developmental psychologists, who can evaluate and help manage former premies who have learning problems.
