In Memoriam: Christine A. Nelson, PhD., OTR
It is with much sadness that we report the recent passing of one of NDTA’s Pediatric Coordinator Instructors.

Our Mission:

The Neuro-Developmental Treatment Association (NDTA™) is a non-profit professional organization of individuals who are devoted to promoting the theory and principles of the Neuro-Developmental Treatment approach.

Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) is an advanced therapeutic approach practiced by experienced Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, and Speech - Language Pathologists.

This hands-on approach is used in working with people who have central nervous system insults that create difficulties in controlling movement. Click here for more...

Therapists using NDT treatment have completed advanced training in NDT and work closely with individuals with neurological challenges (e.g. cerebral palsy, stroke, head injury), helping them to become as independent as possible. NDT-trained therapists work collaboratively with individuals, family, caregivers and physicians to develop comprehensive treatment programs based on the principles of human neurology and physiology. Individuals who have minimal to severe motor difficulties can benefit from the NDT approach.

The NDTA™ furthers the development of this unique approach by offering continuing education to the membership, providing educational services to the community, supporting clinical research and promoting client and family advocacy.

The official language for all NDTA™ publications is English.
