Course Description
Neuro-developmental treatment (NDT) also referred to as the Bobath Concept or approach, has been around since the 1940s when it was first developed by Berta and Dr. Karel Bobath. Initially, the Bobaths introduced innovative therapeutic approaches for children with cerebral palsy and adults with hemiplegia.
Today, NDT is widely used in the therapy realm for numerous neurological conditions and has revolutionized hands-on clinical work. Physical and occupational therapists working in various settings and capacities worldwide have incorporated NDT principles and practices into their patients’ treatment sessions.
