The NMT Fellowship Training is a two day, 16 hour intensive course which
begins with a review and update of current research and clinical practice. Participants are then required to present
video examples demonstrating their current clinical work using three different
NMT techniques. The taped presentation should be 5-10 minutes in length. Be
prepared to provide the diagnoses and background of the client, as well as the
functional goal(s) you are working on. Remember:
you are responsible for having the proper institutional and/or client releases.
All participants are required to fill out the attached paperwork, prior
to the Fellowship meeting. Evaluation
will be completed by all participants. Participants will be informed within two
weeks after the training whether they have passed, or whether they need to
resubmit one or more of their clinical examples based on a 70% majority vote.
