Flexible, easy to integrate into everyday practice, and based on more than 25 years of research, this system includes

  • A short, easy-to-use, interactive observational tool. With the Newborn Behavioral Observations (NBO) system, professionals will have a structured set of 18 observations for infants from birth to approximately 3 months. Including parents as partners, professionals guide the observation, discuss the babys abilities and behaviors with parents, encourage parent insights and questions, and suggest specific ways to support the childs development. (Appropriate use of the NBO tool in clinical practice requires training through the NBO training program.)
  • A complete guide to the NBO system. Through realistic case studies, step-by-step how-to instructions, and color photos illustrating each NBO item, professionals will understand how to use the NBO effectively with a wide variety of families.
  • Invaluable professional guidance. More than a tool, the handbook helps professionals improve their daily work with in-depth information on infant and parent development, cultural competence, premature and at-risk infants, familycentered care, and more.
  • An essential resource from the co-author of the highly regarded Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS) and his colleagues, this system is just what clinicians in hospital, clinic, or home settings need to help new mothers and fathers get to know their baby, increase their confidence and competence as parents, and support their childs growth and development.

    ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

    Firstly, we would like to acknowledge our indebtedness to T. Berry Brazelton, whose teaching and supportive mentoring inspired the development of the Newborn Behavioral Observations (NBO) system. Over the years, Dr. Brazelton has informed our understanding and appreciation of newborn behavior and has shaped our clinical stance toward parents and families. His pioneering work with the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS) on the nature of individual differences in newborn behavior and his positive approach to working with parents influenced both the content and clinical approach of the NBO. We have attempted to preserve in the NBO his philosophy and his overall respect for infants and their parents.

    We would like to thank Cynthia O'Hare, RN, M.P.H., for her unique contribution to the development of the NBO when it was known as the Clinical Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale. She played an indispensable role as a faculty member in shaping the direction of the NBO training program. NBAS Master Trainer Jean Cole's clinical work with the NBAS provided many ideas for the development of the NBO, and we would also like to acknowledge the contributions to the development of the NBO in the initial stages of Dr. Zachary Boukydis, the Erikson Institute, Chicago, and Dr. Sherry Muret-Wagstaff, Children's Hospital Boston. We would like to thank Joao Gomes-Pedro and his colleagues in Portugal, who modified the NBAS for clinical use; Tiffany Field, who developed the Mothers Assessment of the Behavior of the Infant; Ida Cardone and Linda Gilkerson, who developed the Family Administered Neonatal Activities; and Rebecca Kang, Kathryn Barnard, John Worobey, Donna Karl, and Joylene Pearson, all of whom made original adaptations to the NBAS in their clinical work. We also would like to thank Jennifer Gillette of The Brazelton Institute for her contribution to the training curriculum as an NBO faculty member.
