Seminar Description: During this two-day seminar, the participant will learn about the principles and strategies of the Contemporary Practice of NDT as currently applied to adults with profound impairments resulting from stroke or traumatic brain injury. The emphasis will be on improving early mobility from the bed, seated postural balance, and early transitional movement skills during meaningful, functional tasks and the application of tactile feedback to enhance effective movement strategies for successful completion of meaningful, functional tasks. The seminar emphasizes a problem-solving approach to integrated patient assessment based on an understanding of functional limitations, system impairments, and motor dysfunction. The information presented includes a discussion of the following topics: contraversive pushing behavior, along with research supporting neurorecovery and neuroplasticity, and the identification of treatment variables that promote neuroplastic changes. Integration of the upper and lower paretic extremities will be emphasized. The seminar includes lecture and interactive problem-solving laboratory sessions to practice therapeutic handling techniques to optimize treatment activities to address motor dysfunction.

Seminar Description: This two-day interactive in-person seminar will utilize lectures, hands-on labs, video analysis, group and individual problem-solving, and patient demonstrations to challenge participants to improve their clinical management of individuals with a diagnosis of stroke or other neurological pathology by understanding the whole body.

Emphasis will be placed on identifying and incorporating strategies that help all disciplines - PT, OT, and SLP - manage many parts of the body to enhance UE function, as well as to manage their own discipline goals in ways that support UE function and do not limit it. Various upper extremity challenges will be discussed within a problem-solving framework. Labs will allow time for participants to learn and practice hands-on treatment strategies for specific patient problems at various levels of function. Application of these concepts to the evaluation and treatment of an actual patient will be demonstrated, with participants actively involved in the problem-solving process.

Participants will explore the following questions, learn to use NDT problem-solving to find answers, and improve their skills in applying what they’ve learned in these areas to the direct “hands-on” treatment of patients.

Seminar Description: Through lectures, labs, and patient demonstrations, participants will have an opportunity to develop their understanding and skill in treating the functional limitations of patients with neuromotor system impairments, with an emphasis on patients who are severely involved and functioning at a low level. Labs will provide an opportunity to assess and practice strategies to improve patients' performance in mobility and ADL activities. Problem-solving for individual patient needs will be discussed, demonstrated, and practiced.

NDT Foundations: Understanding Interventions that Lead to Improved Function Outcomes

Seminar Description: This will be a two-day introductory live seminar for OT/OTA, PT/PTA, and SLP. This interdisciplinary seminar is designed to help clinicians enhance their skills in the assessment and interventions toward improved function for patients with stroke or brain injury. Participants will be guided toward a thorough understanding of movement throughout the whole body that is either helpful or counterproductive and how that movement directly links to future participation in daily life skills such as bathing, dressing, eating, transferring and walking. Through lecture, lab, patient demonstration and/or video analysis, as well as group problem solving participants will gain practical assessment and intervention skills to help facilitate improved function in the patients they serve e.g., functional mobility, BADL/IADL, eating and swallowing, breath support/communication throughout the continuum.

Seminar Description: All individuals, as we age, experience changes in their body structure and function that impact their daily living skills, but it is extra challenging for individuals with neurological pathophysiology. Practitioners will be guided in their analysis of movement and direct handling of clients to enhance both functional (e.g. ADLs, play, homemaking, etc.) and participation tasks. This two-day seminar emphasizes a problem-solving approach that individualizes treatment interventions utilizing the principles of contemporary NDT to optimize the client’s specific function toward meaningful goals within daily routines such as dressing, hygiene, play, and community engagement. Using task analysis in assessing individuals across the lifespan and applying understanding of the impact life has on individuals’ bodies is a critical aspect of all therapists’ interventions. This seminar will help facilitate a more thorough understanding of the key components when analyzing movement and how it directly links to meaningful intervention. Teaching methods will include didactic lectures, hands-on facilitation labs, group problem-solving & discussions.

Meeting in the Middle: Improving All Aspects of Function by Treating the Trunk – A one-day NDT Course for PTs, OTs and SLPs

Seminar Description: Although we all learn about the “middle” of the body to some extent in school, as we deepen our understanding of the functions we are responsible for as therapists, we often find that we need to go back to the basics and improve our understanding and management of the trunk. Through its connections via the shoulder girdle, pelvic girdle and neck, the trunk is an integral part of the functions that OT’s, PT’s and SLP’s address daily in the clinic. A greater understanding of the trunk will prepare each participant in this course to assess proximal problems and potential and to facilitate the postural control that is necessary for achievement of functional goals in each discipline. Course participants will explore “trunk control”, and its connection to the larger skill of “postural control”. Lectures and videos will enable course participants to deepen their awareness of the interrelationship of the elements of trunk control and the interaction of the functions addressed by each discipline. Lab activities will focus on hands-on assessment and treatment of proximal postural control components, leading to success in distal OT, PT, SLP functions involving the head, arm and leg. The day will conclude with problem-solving relating to the challenges we all face in managing the trunk for achievement of functional goals.

Seminar Description: We know early intervention is critical for optimizing an infant’s development and functional potential; therefore, as clinicians, we are seeking ways to promote their participation. This course is designed for the pediatric therapist who desires to improve their assessment and intervention in the treatment of babies and young children. Important aspects of development will be addressed in this course through both didactic lectures and labs, as well as problem-solving labs that build on a solid foundation of typical and atypical components, along with sensory components that impact development. Direct handling will be discussed and practiced during labs using a multidisciplinary approach, working from an understanding of current, contemporary Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) practice models to assessment and intervention. This application will be applied to babies and children during functional skills such as ADLs and play, and during participation.
