About the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics™

(NMT™)

The Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT)™ is a developmentally sensitive, neurobiology-informed approach to clinical problem solving developed by Dr. Bruce Perry. NMT™ is not a specific therapeutic technique or intervention. It is an approach that integrates core principles of neurodevelopment and traumatology to inform work with children, families, and the communities in which they live. The Neurosequential Approach has three components – training/capacity building, assessment, and then, specific recommendations for the selection and sequencing of therapeutic, educational, and enrichment activities that match the needs and strengths of the individual.

The NMT™ Assessment Process

The NMT™ Assessment is designed to complement other clinical assessment models. An NMT™ Trained clinician will collect a complete developmental history as well as assess a client’s current functioning. The clinician will use this information to complete the NMT™ Metric Report (including a “Functional Brain Map”). The NMT™ Assessment process helps identify domains of functioning that are either undeveloped or dysfunctional, which, in turn, helps guide the selection and sequencing of developmentally sensitive, neurobiologically guided interventions.

Adverse experiences and history of relational health can impact the way that the brain develops.

Clients are given the option of receiving an NMT™ Assessment prior to Ketamine Treatment to help identify areas of compromise that can be addressed while neuroplasticity is increased.

The Neurosequential Network acknowledges that Erica Van Parys has completed NMT training certification through the Phase III/Mentor Level.
