NBO training is offered in a two-tier manner to better meet the varied needs of participants.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Level 1 NBO Training<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Level 1 NBO course provides an in-depth introduction to the NBO, covering foundational theory including neurobehavioral development, the transition to parenthood and early parent-infant relationship development. After Level 1 training, participants can begin to incorporate the principles and items of the NBO into their work with families with newborn and young infants. Many participants also report applying the same principles to their engagement with older infants and children. Participants will also learn how to administer the NBO to make observations of newborn behavior and identify newborn behavioral patterns, interpret these observations from a developmental point-of-view, and communicate this information to parents as a form of support and guidance in a way that is individualized, non-judgmental, non-prescriptive, and culturally sensitive.  Level 1 NBO Training is team taught by two faculty with an emphasis on interactive exchange and hands-on practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which Level 1 training is right for you: Standard or High-Risk?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Standard Level 1 NBO trainings<\/strong> are typically team taught by  faculty from a variety of backgrounds to allow for focus on both an understanding of newborn behavior and on the relationship-building aspects of the NBO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Level 1 NBO trainings for high-risk infants<\/strong> share the same basic curriculum, theoretical content, and certification process as standard NBO trainings. The faculty for the NBO training for high-risk infants are both pediatric physical therapists with particular expertise in high risk infants in EI and NICU settings. These trainings are therefore especially suited to professionals working specifically with high-risk infants.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Level 2 NBO Training \u2013 Certification Course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After completing Level 1 NBO Training, participants are encouraged to continue learning by pursuing certification in the NBO. NBO Certification focuses on the practical applications of NBO principles and administration learned in Level 1 Training. This course provides a step-by-step scaffolded experience with a group mentor to support certification in the NBO. Participants are expected to practice the items of the NBO (time required varies based on experience). Documentation of 5 NBOs are submitted over the span of the 6-month course. After completing Level 2 NBO Training, participants will have gained significant experience in administering all items of the NBO, preparing them to use the NBO as a stand-alone relationship-building intervention and\/or incorporate it into their professional work with newborn families in an informed manner. Participants will learn the interplay of decision-making based on the infant\u2019s state and tolerance for stimulation and the parent\/caregiver\u2019s responses within the encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: Certification is required to apply the NBO in any research setting.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBO \u2013 Refresher Course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The one-day NBO Refresher course is designed for those who have completed the Level 1 NBO training and want to refresh or update their knowledge. You may or may not have certified and would like to revisit the NBO elements to help you with certification or your NBO practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Level 3 Advanced Mentoring for NBO Practitioners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This course aims to deepen the NBO practitioner\u2019s understanding and application of the NBO principles in their clinical practice. These 4 monthly interactive 2-hr sessions require active practice of the NBO before and during the monthly sessions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advanced Workshop on using the NBO with Families in Substance Use Recovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This 4-hour workshop aims to deepen your understanding of infants who have experienced prenatal substance exposure and postnatal withdrawal (NAS\/NOWS) and enhance your relationship-based care skills with their parents living with Substance Use Disorder (SUD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
