CSM 2012: The Child's Developing Brain: Emerging Neuroscience and its Therapeutic Implications

Description

Over the past 2 decades, neuroscience as a field has changed our understanding of the brain and its development. The impact of new imaging and genetic testing has led to a better understanding of the development of the child's brain. This course will focus on the newest changes in brain research and provide a forum for implications that these findings might have on our therapeutic intervention with the young child with disabilities. Whether it be a sensory, perceptual, or motor problem, the understanding of the brain is essential to critical decision making concerning the focus of intervention.
