Introduction[edit | edit source]

The first 3 years of life in a child's life are described as a "key period of physical, physiological, cognitive and social development" by Barlow et al (2018)[1] The Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS) is a neurobehavioral assessment.[2] It presents a holistic picture of clinical conditions of both preterm and term infants.

Objective[edit | edit source]

Assesses the infants behavioural repertoire.[3]

With a series of examinations, the NBAS allows those examining to observe the integration of discrete behaviours of the infant into coherent patterns of behaviour and development.[3]

Intended Population[edit | edit source]

The intended population for the NBAS is from birth up to 2 weeks after birth.[3]
