NEUROPLASTICITY

Over the past decade considerable knowledge of the ability of the brain to change in response to training and learning (neuroplasticity) has been gained and this knowledge is now forming the basis for development of new approaches to training and rehabilitation.

Topics that will be covered:

• Age-dependent plasticity
• Critical periods and windows of opportunity
• Neuroplasticity and brain development
• Early intervention studies
• Accompanying diseases in disabled children
• Hands on – from neuroplasticity to practice
• Neuroplasticity based interventions
