Since the early 1980’s the use of developmentally-supportive caregiving techniques have been promoted and researched. These interventions have been described as supportive, with a potential buffering effect against the stressors of the neonatal intensive care environment. Exposure to the hospital environment, noise, pain, and disrupted parenting are suggested as impacting long-term neurodevelopment meaning that addressing these components is central to infant and family centered developmental care (IFCDC) application. In this session we will examine the current evidence to support IFCDC and identify components that can be implemented into each clinicians toolkit to make the practical application of developmental care easier for infants, parents and clinicians.
