NCAST II: Assessing Parent-Child Interaction is an evidence-based program for nurses and other health care providers interested in learning to promote positive parent-infant interactions which are known to enhance development. In addition to a review of infant states and behavioral cues, this course will prepare the participant to use the Nursing Child Assessment Feeding Scale.
