NCAST 1:Keys to Caregiving for Infants & Families
Description

The NCAST 1: Keys to Caregiving for Infants and Families program provides nurses and healthcare professionals with evidence-based information about infant cues and behavior that can be applied to infant assessment, infant care, and parent teaching. Specific areas of infant behavior to be addressed include: Sleep/Wake Organization, State Regulation, Infant Behavior (derived from the Brazelton Neonatal Assessment Scale), Infant Cues and Infant-caregiver interactions. A child health assessment model is also presented that considers infant behaviors, parent-infant interactions and the environment as the basis for identifying an infant’s risk for later developmental issues.

Course is only open to OT's, PT's, and SLP's employed at Lurie Children's
