Biography

Suzanne Davlin, CNT, PT, is a certified neonatal therapist and a pediatric physical therapist with over 30 years of experience, the last 25 in the NICU. Her love for premature babies began while working at Duke Medical Center where she was instrumental in starting a developmental program in their NICU and follow up clinic.

After joining Nationwide Children's Hospital NICU in 2008, she developed a special interest in small babies (<27 weeks) and supporting the early and important connection between baby and parents. She is passionate about involving parents early in the vital role they play in optimizing their baby's healing, growth and development. She is currently working to help develop an objective way to measure a baby's developmental capacity during cares with the goal of identifying when a baby may benefit from more intensive therapy services.
