Neuromaturationist Theory
hierarchical CNS development
appearance of predetermined behavior patterns with nervous system maturation
not altered by environment
tests of motor milestone and reflex development
Early focus of NDT treatment:
inhibition of abnormal muscle tone and movement patterns
manual facilitation of more normal patterns using key points of control
