Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
This study is a cross- sectional study where a questionnaire would be provided to the caretakers of the pretrm infants to know their sensory abilities.The study would help in understanding the sensory processing patterns in preterm infants that would aid in using sensory integration therapy by occupational therapists working with preterm infants. It would also be helpful in planning for home programme when the infant gets discharged from the step- down unit.
The results of this study may pave way to strengthen our role in NICU, especially in the Indian context.
