NEO Assessment
The Neonatal Eating Outcome (NEO) Assessment’s purpose is to assess age-appropriate oral motor and feeding skills in preterm infants prior to and at term equivalent age. A preview of the assessment can be found here. This assessment attempts to gauge normal versus abnormal progression of feeding across differing postmenstrual ages (PMA), when lack of feeding success can be either a flag for abnormality or part of the normal process of maturation. It can be used with breast or bottle fed infants. Scoring of the NEO is based on the infant’s PMA at the time of assessment.
