Are you working with individuals facing developmental, cognitive, emotional, or physical challenges?  Do you sometimes feel like traditional methods aren't enough?  Many professionals and parents experience the frustration of seeing plateaus in progress, despite their best efforts.

Core Outcomes You Will Achieve with the Foundations of NDM® Training:

  • A comprehensive understanding of NDM® principles including the historical development of the work and its application across learning, behavior, coordination, and sensory development.

  • A deep knowledge of the developmental movement sequence from the pons level through the midbrain and beyond, including how vision, auditory processing, tactile integration, corpus callosum development, mobility, and language systems support the individual.

  • The ability to gather and interpret relevant developmental and neurological data and use it to create meaningful NDM® programs that support clients in schools, clinics, parent groups, and community settings.

  • Hands-on experience through two weekend intensives and weekly live collaboration, allowing you to practice concepts, ask questions, and integrate your learning with support and guidance.

  • Professional preparation to apply your certificate of completion, enabling you to begin working with individuals experiencing learning challenges, coordination difficulties, behavioral concerns, or sensory processing needs.
