When an infant/toddler is not quite ready to go home after the NICU, providing developmental opportunities in a hospital setting is essential to support quickly developing brains. Supporting these children while in the hospital can be challenging. Learn how an interdisciplinary team of therapists are creating projects and programs to address all domains of childhood development. CTRSs bring the aspect of treating the whole child while incorporating all team members' goals to meet the child where they are at.
