The number of premature births, both in Poland and in the world, has increased prominently in the last two decades. As a result of the progress of medical science and the experience of neonatal ward personnel, mortality among the examined groups of premature children has decreased. Specialists of infant development faced with new challenges, one of them being the food intake that is substantial for children’s survival. The main threat to the proper synchronization of the triad: sucking-swallowing-breathing, for premature babies is a low gestational age and extremely low birth weight. At the third degree neurological units (health center classification), the speech and neuro speech therapists – specialists in early speech intervention therapy and/or physiotherapists – take care of stimulus of primitive neonatal reflexes. In prematurely born babies with positive prognosis, without any neurological complications, the early speech intervention therapy is conducted to accelerate and complete the tube feeding process and begin independent sucking of a baby. In case of infants with moderate or severe damage of the central nervous system, the early neurologopedic speech therapy is conducted to minimize the level of disability and increase the chance of speech motor development. Physiotherapy uses in the therapeutic process, among others, Vojta therapy, as the rehabilitation of the “first line” of a prematurely born child.
