NDT Certification is here!
Many of you who have taken the basic eight week pediatric and three week adult hemiplegia courses have received certificates of course completion, and have now requested a certification process. As an organization, NDTA too believes that we must recognize the level of competence required for the successful completion of these courses through a new formal certification process. Please click on the certification button on the right side of the NDTA home page for more information on becoming certified.
