CANDO Kids

Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Outcome Program (CANDO) presents the CANDO app. Designed for Children's National CANDO parents to learn more about developmental milestones.

Research shows that patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) who have undergone cardiac surgery are at a higher risk for developmental delay, learning differences and behavioral issues. The goal of this app is to provide awareness of important developmental milestones for families served by CANDO, our neurodevelopmental follow-up program for children with CHD. We hope this educational tool will help CANDO families connect with us, and seek prompt early intervention should a concern arise.
