Manual
on Neurodevelopmental therapy
SPASTN
with the help of its therapists, has compiled a Manual on Neurodevelopmental
therapy. The key features of the book include an introduction to
the Bobath concept and principles of NDT, review of nervous system
development and its physiology and theories underlying the Bobath
concept. The book has been compiled keeping in mind the therapists
who are entirely new to the concept of NDT and to cater to the students
interested in learning more about it.
Brochures
for Parents
Parents who are suddenly confronted by the news of their child’s
neurological impairment, are often in a state of shock and bewilderment.
All they need at this stage is knowledge about their child’s
condition and measures to cope up with the problem. To alleviate
their misconceptions and encourage acceptance, SPASTN has come out
with brochures and handouts for parents. These handouts have been
created to help parents deal with the child’s needs in an
efficient way. Information has been added on various aspects of
disability and methods of intervention. Some facts include, the
do’s and don’ts for children with CP, proper positioning
techniques for children with CP, methods to facilitate speech and
proper feeding techniques.
