Overview of Nursery Self-Assessment Documents An important component of developing one’s nursery towards increasingly effective functioning in the NIDCAP care model is the appreciation of the organizational structures supportive of the integration of developmental care. Therefore, it is important to reflect on and explore already existing skills and supports from within the setting; as well as competencies and resources within and across all disciplines in the NICU. The ultimate goal of all NIDCAP training is the full integration of the NIDCAP model of care into all aspects of the Nursery. The Nursery Self-Assessment Documents provide a format for the identification and articulation of the supports and structures available in a nursery (Nursery Self-Assessment Questionnaire), as well as an instrument for the assessment of the nursery’s level of individualization of care and developmental support provided for infants, families and staff, and for the environment (NNACP Nursery Assessment Manual). Nurseries applying for NIDCAP training are expected to provide the following two documents prior to the initiation of the first formal training session, the timeframe of which is established by the nursery’s NIDCAP Trainer in collaboration with the applicant nursery: 1. The completed Nursery Self-Assessment Questionnaire; 2. The completed Score Sheet of the NNACP Nursery Assessment Manual. Additionally expected is an institutional letter of support of the NIDCAP Training sought. The letter of institutional support for NIDCAP Training must show assurance that the nursery leadership and staff across all disciplines are formally committed to practice the NIDCAP approach to care, and assurance that financial resources are available for staff seeking training in the NIDCAP approach. The completion of these documents requires the collaboration of representatives from all disciplines. The documents provide a starting point for joint reflection and assessment of the opportunities at a nursery, as well as a base for NIDCAP training, nursery consultation and guidance, and joint timeline development with the Trainer.
