Support the NICU-to-home transition with this accessible book, the complete guide to helping parents meet their babyâ (TM)s special needs and promote optimal development in the first year after homecoming.

Invaluable for a wide range of professionals--including early interventionists, OTs, PTs, public health nurses, physicians, and social workers--this book is the key to providing family-centered, developmentally supportive guidance in the months after the NICU. Professionals will deepen their understanding of the emotional and physical challenges of the NICU experience, and theyâ (TM)ll get in-depth guidance on how to support parents effectively as they
