Current philosophy and principles of the Neuro-Developmental Treatment approach will be presented as it relates to treatment of gait and acquisition of skills in vertical.

Objectives
• identify at least 10 aspects of typical development as regards the development of pre-gait and gait skills via slides, video, and observation of mature gait
• identify the biomechanical alignment that is most energy efficient in the acquisition of pre-gait and gait skills via slides and video
• identify the characteristics of gait in the typically developing population
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
