Introductory course NDS online

The online Introductory course NDS Learning through Movement© serves as a comprehensive alternative to the face-to-face course, offering a strong theoretical foundation upon which the subsequent face-to-face Continuation course NDS can build. The Introductory course includes 12 video lectures and downloadable scripts in PDF format, which are specifically adapted for online teaching. In addition, an online meeting will be available, providing participants with the opportunity to ask questions and clarify doubts about the NDS method. As with the face-to-face course, the online course has limited capacity. Access to the course will be granted for a full calendar month, allowing participants to take the Introductory course from the comfort of their homes.

The Introductory course aims to provide participants with a fundamental understanding of Neuro-Developmental Stimulation theory, its concepts, and the proper recognition of disorders associated with the persistence of primary reflexes or poor sensory integration. Basic tests for persistent primary reflexes will also be introduced during the course.

This course is highly recommended for educators, occupational therapists, speech therapists, physiotherapists, and parents seeking to expand their knowledge and skills in this area.
