COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This fourth of a 4-part series focuses on the acquisition of core competency skills needed for independent practice in the NICU. This series will be perfect for NTs studying for the Neonatal Therapy Certificate Exam or those new to the NICU by 1) laying a foundation of fundamental knowledge, 2) closing knowledge gaps and 3) applying this new knowledge to NICU interventions. This 4th course focuses on core component skill sets within three neonatal therapy domains: the Sensory System, Neuromotor & Musculoskeletal Systems, and Oral Feeding & Swallowing. In part 4, you will consider the impact of medical acuity and NICU caregiving practices on the infant’s developing sensory systems, improve implementation of neuroprotective strategies for positioning and handling and understand how prematurity and the NICU experience affects feeding development, learning to provide crucial support from DOL 1. In addition, this course provides self-assessment and support planning for next steps towards independent practice in the NICU.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Recognize the impact that post menstrual age and environmental input have on sensory responses
- Recognize the impact of the environment and caregiving practices on preterm sensory system integration
- Utilize knowledge of infant positioning abilities and needs in formulation of plans for supporting optimal neurodevelopmental positioning
- Relate impact of risk factors/etiologies and comorbidities to an infant’s oral feeding development
- Determine infant readiness for oral feeding introduction through utilization of oral feeding readiness cues and additional prerequisites
- Apply understanding of aerodigestive system anatomy and physiology to recommendations for support of oral feeding transition and progression.
AUDIENCE:
PTs, OTs and SLPs.
