On March 13, 2018, T. Berry Brazelton, M.D. passed away at his home in Barnstable, Mass. Dr. Brazelton developed the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale, or “The Brazelton.” The test helps doctors determine a baby's health and assists parents in understanding the needs of their child. Dr. Brazelton argued that children, or their adoptive parents, could not afford losing bonding time in the early months. Historically, before children were eligible for adoption placement, they were institutionalized for months of observation.Triad Family Services can assist you and your family with the adoption process.
