Testimonials
“Infant driven caregiving and all aspects of the NTMC have been extremely useful in my last 2 years with helping define my role and building my skills as a therapist.”
Courtney Johnson, OT
Thank you so much, so helpful as a therapist in the NICU. Would have liked more however my brain was fatigued. I wish all NICU caregivers had the basic education that was provided. Need to sell to NANN for their developmental specialist designation.
Brenda Lala Black, OT
Practical, family focused (baby and family) treatment intervention. I wish I would have taken this course when I first started in the NICU. Excited to take the knowledge/learning back to the hospital.
Shannan Murphy-Barlow, OT
Loved the fact that the class was small enough to get to know and talk with classmates. It was a great time of networking and collaboration. Appreciate how much time spent to focus on development and reminding us of the “basics” of good developmental care. Great flexibility to allow for questions/discussion from participants. Felt completely free to ask questions of speaker and am walking away feeling very comfortable to enter my “practice” phase to begin to implement massage into my practice. I have learned so much that I will be able to apply to my NICU practice. Thank you!!!
Caroline Harper, OT
Overall, I feel like I am a good nurse, but this course has given me the knowledge and tools to provide excellent, developmentally friendly care; as well as to empower parents to comfort their baby.
