| | Lecture Overview: |
|
| | Critical aspects of sensory development must occur in the third trimester, but the preterm infant is at a significant disadvantage due to illness and environment. Developmental care seeks to optimize sensory development but even so, uncertainty exists in several domains. This presentation explores the current understanding of how we can best promote optimal sensory development in the preterm infant. |
