You are called to the NICU to provide consultation and support for a family
You are called to the NICU to provide consultation and support for a family. The mother just gave birth to triplets. One triplet is critically ill and is on a ventilator. The other two triplets are on oxygen and will likely remain in the NICU for at least a few weeks. There is also a 4-year-old sister at home. What developmental concerns do you have for the triplets and the sister, and what type of support do you imagine you would provide for this family as a child life specialist?
