The support you need at home for your baby when leaving NICU.
When community services(OT,PT, and SLP) take too long of a delay for therapies to be initiated at home, I provide teaching/coaching to parents/caregivers a variety of assistance, from a therapy perspective, until community services have begun.

Services & Skills Performed for Your Preemie
INFANT MASSAGING
Infant Massaging when done properly to preterm infants can help the infant drastically. In some research it has been shown that preterm infants who received infant massaging have responded with increased weight gain, improved development scores and the potential of being discharged from the hospital sooner.
SENSORY INTEGRATION
Sensory Integration dysfunction is when a child can’t take in or use their sensory information the way most of us do. For premature infants, sensory integration dysfunction is a higher risk for them.
VISUAL PERCEPTUAL SKILLS
Visual Perceptual Skills is needed for basically every task we carry out. This includes the recognition and identification of colors and the ability to make judgments of sizes, shapes and relation of one object to another.
FINE MOTOR ACTIVITIES
Fine motor movements begin in infancy, unlike what we had imagined. Fine motor involves coordination of small muscles in the hands and fingers.
FEEDING DIFFICULTIES
Feeding difficulties do occur more often for preterm infants. With premature infants the feedings can be slow, it can cause reflux, and sluggish bowels to name a few.
WHAT IS TORTICOLLIS?
Many parents in NICU or in the home setting get concerned when their baby tends to look one way. It can be difficult for baby to turn their neck, which is defined as torticollis, Latin for “twisted neck”.
SAFE SLEEPING PRACTICES
Safe Sleeping practices for premature infants is very important. The reason for this is premature infants are more likely to die from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) than non-premature infants.
TUMMY TIME
Tummy Time is the most important activity for a premature baby. Tummy time helps infants body movement and strength to develop naturally.
KANGAROO CARE
Kangaroo Care is when the parent holds their premature infant on their chest, skin to skin. This is good for the baby because it helps keep them warm, and helps with their breathing.
