The purpose of this master’s thesis was to provide a literature-based summary of premature neonatal physiology and development and its implications for music therapists providing care in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Physiology was outlined for each anatomical system by gestational age and an overview of common diagnoses and procedures for each system was discussed. Additionally, an overview of sensory processing in premature infants was included, with specific emphasis on development of sensory systems and pain in the NICU. Lastly, implications for music therapists were discussed.
