Preemies have so much going on, it’ll be best to pinpoint one subject and go with that.
Some ideas -
*Growth problems,
*Adjusted age (considering them to be the age they would be if they had been born on their due date),
*Using low lighting and noise in the nicu (nicu environment),
*Kangaroo care (skin to skin contact) and how it helps preemies,
*Parental stress.

Re: parental stress — great info here: http://www.uwm.edu/People/hynan/
Look at: Helping Parents Cope With a High Risk Birth and his other links.

Good luck!

Here are some idea’s (I was a premature baby)
- survival rate (start from the 1980’s to current date, show how technology improves life today)
- birth defects (sight, hearing, verbal communication, dr.s told my mom I should have never walked, talked or been able to see (I can do all of the above)
- try and find research on why babies are born prematurly

Hope this helps
