Neurodevelopmental Care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) : Resources and Approaches

Overview

This workshop will concentrate on evidence-based therapeutic intervention programmes in the NICU and provide participants with tools, methods, and improved critical problem-solving abilities. An emphasis will be placed on the NICU environment, sensory experience, and feeding routines that best promote developmental care and offer neuroprotection. There will be group activities with practical takeaways for your own NICU.

Objectives

Upon completion of the course the participants will be able to:

1. Discuss key concepts of neuroprotection and stress in the NICU and how the neonatal therapist plays a role.

2. Prepare therapeutic interventions and strategies for the environment, positioning, feeding, sleep, and family support.

3. Develop developmental care for your practice with the very low birth weight infant, the late preterm, and infants with HIE.

4. Demonstrate strategies learned to create change in the NICU regarding neurodevelopmental care.
