The NMT Fellowship Training is an 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.
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.
