A “study group” is defined as a collection of individuals, in our case OT, PT and Speech therapists, who gather together to improve their understanding of a subject, in our case NDT theory, principles and practice, by participating in a focused discussion or hands-on facilitation sessions.

Benefits of a study group include:
• Active learning instead of passive learning
• Sharing of ideas that may not have been considered
• By either, speaking to others and/or listening to others, these skills can improve on recall ability
• Explaining information to other members can reinforce your mastery of concepts
• Groups provide a venue for sharing information and knowledge
• Groups provide a venue for practicing facilitation techniques, building self-confidence and learning valuable handling skills and techniques
• A source of encouragement from other members can increase your motivation of study

Please read through the attached guidelines and email me about getting a group started. If you are participating in or aware of an NDT study group in your area, please share the contact information for the group.
