NDT Certification coming to CANADA!

 
 

by Kim Barthel

There hasn’t been an NDT (Neuro-Developmental Treatment) certification program offered in Canada in about 10 years, but there is one coming! We’re not involved in it but are happy to share the information to encourage more OT, PT and SLP colleagues to make NDT part of their practice. NDT is “a holistic and interdisciplinary clinical practice model informed by current and evolving research that emphasizes individualized therapeutic handling based on movement analysis for habilitation and rehabilitation of individuals with neurological pathophysiology.” 

Here’s the info:

  • COURSE: "NDTA Certificate Course in the Contemporary Practice of NDT for the Management of Children with Cerebral Palsy and Other Neuromuscular Disorders"

  • DATES: September 26, 2024 – April 14, 2025 (Offered in a Hybrid online/in-person format)

  • LOCATION: The Moncton Hospital
