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

an up-to-date guide to the neurorehabilitation approach originally
developed by Karl and Berta Bobath.

  a detailed look at how occupational therapists, physical therapists,
  and speech-language pathologists practice NDT within the scope of the
  individual disciplines

  and intervention through a series of case reports spanning from infants
  to adults with posture and movement disorders

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.
