Developmental Intervention

India is the leading contributor to the number of preterm births per year. Global burden of developmental problems in this population is increasing. For the developmental intervention, a specialist with a developmental perspective and expertise is needed. Neonatal therapy during Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) treatment is crucial in this situation. The certication process was necessary in order to increase professional standards, ensure the safety and best care for all newborns, and introduce uniformity to neonatal therapy services given to clients. This article provides a summary of the Association of Neonatal Therapists' establishment of Neonatal Therapy Certication in India.

Purpose Feeding challenges are common for infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). While sufficient oral feeding is typically a goal during NICU admission, this can be a long and complicated process for both the infant and the family. Many of the stressors related to feeding persist long after hospital discharge, which results in the parents taking the primary role of navigating the infant's course to ensure continued feeding success. This is in addition to dealing with the psychological impact of having a child requiring increased medical attention and the need to continue to fulfill the demands at home. In this clinical focus article, we examine 3 main areas that impact psychosocial stress among parents with infants in the NICU and following discharge: parenting, feeding, and supports. Implications for speech-language pathologists working with these infants and their families are discussed. A case example is also included to describe the treatment course of an infant and her parents in the NICU and after graduation to demonstrate these points further. Conclusion Speech-language pathologists working with infants in the NICU and following hospital discharge must realize the family context and psychosocial considerations that impact feeding progression. Understanding these factors may improve parental engagement to more effectively tailor treatment approaches to meet the needs of the child and family.
