Neuro-Developmental Treatment for Cerebral Palsy and Autism Spectrum Disorder

Course Description

      This four-day workshop is designed to acquaint Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and Speech & Language Pathologists with the Neuro-Developmental Treatment approach. The information presented will introduce current NDT principles including beginning assessment and problem-solving techniques. Participants will improve both their observational skills and direct handling skills to improve function in their pediatric CP and ASD clients. Through lecture, hands-on labs and practicums with children, participants will increase their knowledge and confidence. It is recommended that participants wear comfortable clothing for the treatment labs. Group discussion will address current worldwide trends in pediatric therapy, and include the integration of NDT within the participants’ practices.
