Newborn Behavioral Observations (NBO)

The Newborn Behavioral Observations (NBO) service offered by Burns Virtual Psychological Solutions is designed to assess newborn behavior and promote parent-infant bonding and development. During the NBO session, our trained professionals carefully observe your baby's behaviors and responses to various stimuli. Through this observation, we provide insights into your baby's individual temperament, strengths, and areas of growth. We also offer guidance and support to help parents understand and respond to their baby's cues effectively, fostering a strong and nurturing bond from the very beginning.

The following materials will be needed for the parent/caregiver to complete the NBO:

Nursing Child Assessment Satellite Training (NCAST)

The Nursing Child Assessment Satellite Training (NCAST) services provided by Burns Virtual Psychological Solutions focus on assessing parent-infant interactions and caregiving practices to enhance bonding and support healthy development. Our trained professionals conduct the NCAST assessment to observe and evaluate the quality of parent-infant interactions, including feeding, soothing, and communication. Through this assessment, we identify strengths and areas for growth in the parent-infant relationship and provide personalized guidance and strategies to support positive interaction and bonding.

BabyCues®

BabyCues® services offered by Burns Virtual Psychological Solutions focus on understanding and responding to infant cues and signals to enhance parent-infant communication, bonding, and emotional well-being. Our professionals provide education and support to help parents recognize and interpret their baby's cues, such as hunger, tiredness, and discomfort. By understanding and responding to these cues effectively, parents can strengthen their bond with their baby, promote secure attachment, and support their baby's emotional and developmental needs from the earliest stages of life.
