After taking the pediatric NDT course, I immediately saw results with my patients through the handling techniques I was taught. I am a better occupational therapist because of this course! -Sam T., OTR
There were so many "pearls" from this course! The handling techniques in combination with the theoretical knowledge has been extremely helpful in my practice. I also appreciated the review of goal setting, and the influence of participation in goal setting. -Janna M., PT
