Conditions
Interventions
Song of Kin
Music therapists will assess meaningful song/theme (of choice/culture) and provide musical elements in a way that nurtures parents. They will then develop a simplified part of the theme into a soothing lullaby for their infants to be utilized directly by the parent/s and/or the music therapist to comfort, engage or sedate.
Gato box
Depending on the time of intervention and need of the infant the music therapist will provide rhythmic entrainment that follows the heart rate or suck patterns of the infant
Ocean disc
Depending on the time of intervention and needs of the infant the music therapist will provide a whoosh sound using the Remo Ocean disc. It will be entrained to the infant's respiratory rate.
Contingent singing
Depending on the state of the infant, the music therapist will provide short segments of conversant prosody, to enhance quiet-alert, or stimulate relaxation/sleep
Tonal Vocal holding
Music therapist will provide a vowel, long held tone, sung without vibrato
Muted shaker
If infant is awake, the muted shaker will be used to entrain to the infant's vital signs-to comfort, soothe or sedate
