      ab: Over the past 30 years, music therapy services in the neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) have expanded, yet there is still limited literature available that captures current practice trends in this setting. The purpose of this paper was to obtain descriptive data about current demographics, consultation, and clinical practice trends in NICU music therapy clinical practice in the US. A questionnaire was sent to 9,222 Board-Certified Music Therapists. Those providing music therapy services in the NICU and choosing to participate (N  = 87) completed the questionnaire. Results showed that a majority of music therapists working in the NICU who responded to the questionnaire have completed additional training to provide specialized services. Most NICU music therapists reported spending less than 20 hr a week on the unit and providing a variety of family-centered interventions to infants starting at 28 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA). Common diagnoses for referral besides prematurity were Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome and Chronic Lung Disease. Music therapists are well integrated within treatment teams with a majority reporting collaborating and/or co–treating with other therapies and/or clinical staff.
