Course outline:
A two day course focusing on the following:
Day one:
• Brain imaging and its relationship with clinical presentations
• Principles of neuroplasticity in SLT rehabilitation
• Understanding what stroke and awake craniotomy tells us about the brain, language and communication.
Day two:
• Cranial nerve assessment and its implications
• Movement disorders: SLT role in diagnosis and management
• Differential diagnosis in SLT assessment and treatment planning
• What does stroke tell us about dysphagia
The agenda will be supported fully by practical case examples and patient case-studies. There will be opportunities for open dialogue with speakers and time to network with colleagues working with similar neurological conditions.
The outlined agenda above is subject to change during the process of development. A more detailed agenda will be provided closer to the time of the course.
