About this therapy
What it is.
Neurodevelopmental therapy (NDT) is a hands-on approach for children with conditions that affect movement and posture, such as cerebral palsy, developmental delay or brain injury. The therapist guides the child's movements to help them feel and learn more typical patterns.
The aim is practical: better sitting, standing, reaching and walking, so children can take part more fully in play, school and family life.
