26 Tex. Admin. Code § 350.819 - Age Adjustment for Children Born Prematurely

(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.
