Update: Article Reference Back Checked for NICU-MT

In the last post I made reference to an interview with a NICU Music Therapist from the East Coast named Claire Westbrook Littlejohn. I reached out to Claire (via Facebook) before writing that post to ask her if she could shed some light on the article being referenced in her interview due to the fact that I had attempted to browse the Journal looking for relevant titles and/or well known NICU-MT names (such as, Jayne Standley or Joanne Loewy), but was unable to find the exact piece. Well, she got back to me a few days after the post was written and explained that:"The article is "Effects of Neurodevelopmental Stimulation on Premature Infants in Neonatal Intensive Care: Randomized Control Trial." It's from the journal of neonatal nursing, 2012. Author: Walworth, et al. The mean length of stay by gender is where you'll find the results if you subtract the experimental mean from the control mean." I was able to locate the article and read the abstract and an excerpt online, but as a non-subscriber, I would have to pay to "rent" the article for the day. If you happen to be the type of person who wants to dig deeper into this topic I hope this added info will help you do so. Thanks :)
