Online - 9 PDUs - Description: Occupational, physical, and speech therapists play a crucial role in helping people who have experienced brain damage (ex. stroke, head injury, cerebral palsy), spinal cord injury, birth defects, or neurological disease, regain function. The success of each case is dependent on the therapist's ability to fully understand the nervous system. This is the first in a series of four modules offered to "refresh" each clinician's understanding of the human nervous system. This module provides an introduction to neuroscience followed by a comprehensive, but clinically relevant overview of the development of the nervous system and the basic structure and function of it's cells. It is recommended that you read each module of the series in order, to achieve maximum benefit.
