View Anytime Nuffield Dyspraxia Programme (NDP3®) Modules 1-4
About this course
NDP3 provides a multi-layered, multi-target treatment approach involving working on several layers at the same time. The approach works from the child’s strengths and what they can already do and builds skills in small achievable steps from this point.
The View Anytime NDP3 course is the self-study version of our virtual live NDP3® training. The modules present current evidence-based information about childhood apraxia of speech and the NDP3 assessment procedure and intervention approach, so practitioners can use NDP3 effectively within their clinical practice.

Course testimonials
“Very valuable. Clear structure on the stages of treatment. I feel more confident in my knowledge of CAS and excited to try the treatment approach with my patients.”
“I really enjoyed how practical it was. I also particularly liked how the course asked us to use the skills required to support a client from assessment through to therapy in terms of looking at videos, filling out the qualitative part of the NDP3 assessment, creating targets from this and considering a therapy plan. It made me feel confident in applying assessment resources and my knowledge to create a therapy plan. I liked having the page numbers in the PowerPoint to refer to the manual throughout and at a later date.”
“I liked the video examples as they reinforced the teaching ideas and then test your knowledge quiz at the end of each module.”
