NDTA Research Committee

The purpose of the NDTA Research Committee is the establishment and recognition of "contemporary NDTA practice model intervention" –  through research – as evidence-based practice for the benefit of NDTA clinicians, clients and families. Committee representation is a balance of instructors, clinicians, and academicians with C/NDT; PT/OT/SLP members; and members representing both pediatrics and adults. For full description and initiatives, please see the Research Committee section on the Committees Page.

Ideas, questions, discussion always welcome: Contact Kate Bain: kathrynmbain@gmail.com
