Blythedale Children's Hospital Department of Rehabilitation Medicine is proud to present: Components of Movement & the Principles of Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) with Lois Bly, PT, MA, C/NDT.
This course is designed for physical and occupational therapists and speech language pathologists working with children who have developmental disorders. Lecture information will focus on NDT Treatment Principles. Labs and videotapes will be used to problem solve system impairments for children in general, and for the specific child who will be treated in the demonstration session. Facilitation labs with classmates will augment the therapist’s understanding of treatment techniques.
