Infants who reside in the Intensive Care Units are not exposed to their caregiver's full-time presence. The long periods of separation at the NICU can have negative consequences on infant's communication skills and emotional well-being. An important factor that influences language development in PT children is the quality of caregiver-infant relationship. When a child and a caregiver participate in meaningful interactions, the language development improves. However, when this relationship is disturbed by extensive NICU periods, the language development is also hindered.
