NDT Therapy

Neurodevelopmental treatment (NDT) is a hands-on treatment approach used by physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists. NDT was developed to enhance the function of adults and children who have difficulty controlling movement as a result of neurological challenges, such as cerebral palsy, stroke, and head injury. This therapy uses guided or facilitated movements as a treatment strategy to ensure correlation of input from tactile, vestibular, and somatosensory receptors within the body.

Therapists trained in NDT have completed advanced training that enables them to properly assess and treat the variety of neuro-motor problems experienced by these individuals and help these individuals become as functional and independent as possible.
