Chronologically Controlled Developmental Therapy

CCDT, developed by Ed Snapp, P.T., is an all- inclusive treatment approach, based on the
chronological development of the nervous system, beginning with prenatal development.

When a person experiences a traumatic or toxic injury, foundational sensory - motor information
can be erased or damaged, interfering with normal function. The central nervous system then
regresses to earlier patterns of prenatal function and posture that have typically been
recognized as spasticity and abnormal coordination.

Using environmental stimulation, CCDT works to first rebuild the earliest levels of functions,
especially those developed in the prenatal period, before focusing on progressively higher
levels of function.

This approach includes sensory factors, environmental controls and movement activities in a
closely controlled sequence to re-establish the background necessary to regain progressive
control of functional skills.

CCDT enhances standard therapy modalities by incorporating sensory information from
prenatal time periods with known developmental functions to achieve greater treatment
outcomes.
