Newborn Behavioral Observation: Incorporating Use of the NBO with Families Living with Substance Use Disorder - October 2022


Event Description

The Newborn Behavioral Observation system (NBO) is an infant-focused, family-centered relationship-based tool, designed to sensitize parents to their baby's competencies and individuality, in order to foster positive parent-infant interactions and thus contribute to the development of a positive parent-infant relationship from the very beginning (Nugent, Keefer, Minear, Johnson & Blanchard, 2007). NBO Trainings will be delivered with specific content about the use of the NBO in the context of families living with substance use disorder. Training will be delivered remotely over 3 days, by Zoom or an equivalent platform.

In this training, you will learn to administer the tool through discussion, video, live example, and hands-on practice using an infant doll. Please bring a doll with you to the training. You will also receive information about how to become a certified NBO practitioner. This training is for participants who have never taken the training and would like to become certified.

The training is open to service providers working in Ohio’s Part C early intervention. You must meet the following criteria to participate:

  • Trainee must be a member of an IFSP team serving infants, toddlers and their families
  • Trainee must be a DS or therapist (interventionists/assessor)
  • Trainee must commit to obtaining certification following training and using the information learned in the training when assessing and providing interventions via the IFSP
