Core Principles: What Makes NDT Unique

Course overview

This 1.5-hour webinar will introduce the Core Principles of the Contemporary Practice of Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT). This course is appropriate for therapists working with individuals across the lifespan. Descriptions of each principle will be introduced through lecture, illustrations, and/or pre-recorded videos, which will emphasize how this information is used in practice for Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Speech-Language Pathology professionals. This webinar is directed to improve the knowledge of the contemporary practice of NDT as it has evolved with neuroscience evidence, without the bias or historical teaching of the NDT practice. The webinar will provide examples of treatment strategies and how the principles can guide therapeutic evaluations and intervention progressions. Instructors will lead a question-and-answer session to assess understanding.
