Abstract
The Neonatal Behavioural Assessment Scale (NBAS) is a standardised tool to assess term newborn
babies and young infants, based on the observation of the spontaneous behaviour of the
baby and of his/her interaction with the caretaker. The tool is aimed at improving parents’
awareness of their baby’s competencies and ultimately at promoting better interaction. In the
“touchpoint” model, the principles of NBAS have been extended to children up to 6 years. The
main characteristics of this approach are the empathic role of the health professional, and the
interdisciplinary nature of the tool, which allows and promotes the communication between
different health professionals and between professionals and parents.
