The goals of the client and family form the foundation of the intervention plan. NDT- trained therapists work in all practice settings and believe in a team approach.NDT-trained therapists work closely with the individual, their family, care providers, physicians, and other health care professionals, to develop and manage a comprehensive child-centered program. NDT is an intervention approach that has stood the test of time! Recent advances in the
field of neurobiology, the emergence of new theories of motor control, brain recovery, and a greater understanding of the development and refinement of movement across the life span has enhanced, enriched,and supported the NDT approach.
