Synopsis

This comprehensive volume provides vital support for both novice and experienced practitioners of Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) by integrating the latest theoretical foundations of NDT with real-life practice examples. The book is the culmination of a 5-year project by instructors of the Neuro-Developmental Treatment Association to develop an up-to-date guide to the neurorehabilitation approach originally developed by Karl and Berta Bobath. Special Features: + Presents the contemporary NDT Theory and Practice Model. + Covers the entire what, why, who, and how of NDT. + Includes thorough discussions of current and evolving research in neurorehabilitation. + Presents a detailed look at how occupational therapists, physical therapists, and speech-language pathologists practice NDT within the scope of the individual disciplines. + Illustrates NDT examination, evaluation, and intervention through a series of case reports spanning from infants to adults with posture and movement disorders. + Provides enhanced figures, diagrams, tables, photo galleries, and videos demonstrating therapeutic practice using the NDT practice model through access on Thieme s MediaCenter. + Provides educators with instructional materials and strategies for entry-level to advanced learners. + Written by more than 30 NDT practitioners (OTs, PTs, SLPs) giving a broad range of perspectives. Used as the core textbook in NDT Certificate courses, Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT): A Guide to Clinical Practice sets the standard in clinical practice for occupational therapists, physical therapists, and speech-language pathologists who use, or intend to use, NDT in their work with infants, children, adolescents, and adults with postural and movement disorders.
