Preferred term

neonatal behavioral assessment scale assessment  

Definition

  • The widespread use of the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS) by both researchers and practitioners across a variety of disciplines speaks to the universal and applied nature of this newbornassessment tool. By tapping the neonate's natural mode of communication, that is, an elaborate vocabulary of body movements, cries, and explicit responses, the NBAS reveals its sensitivity to the unique language of infant behavior and corresponding developmental agenda.
