The course will distinguish between what is understood about natural and therapeutically driven recovery processes. Research on the effects of therapy on speech, language, and cognition will be emphasized. Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Utilize new brain plasticity research to recognize how therapy changes the human brain</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Utilize the new research for timing of treatment to coincide wiht natural recovery processes</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Apply the new research for Speech/Language goal setting</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Apply the new research on treatment intensity and frequency to select adjunctive evidence-based technological interventions</span></span></li>
</ul>
