This two-day continuing education course is designed for physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists working with children with neuromotor and developmental disorders. Grounded in contemporary Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) principles, the course integrates current concepts in motor learning, neuroplasticity, postural control, and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework to support clinical reasoning and functional treatment planning. Through lecture, movement analysis, hands-on labs, and collaborative problem-solving, participants will explore the relationship between alignment, activation, base of support, center of mass, and functional movement while practicing therapeutic handling and facilitation techniques related to postural control, transitions, and functional activities. Labs and case-based scenarios are designed to directly reflect real-life clinical presentations and provide practical, immediately applicable strategies that participants can implement in treatment sessions the following day to support participation, movement efficiency, and quality of movement across clinical settings
