First UK Paediatric Neuropsychology Symposium
Institute of Child Health, London, UK
12 – 16 January 2009
This 5 day course presents the normal and potentially abnormal development of sensory, motor and cognitive neural systems. Competing processes involved in early injury or abnormal neurodevelopment are considered, such as available neural plasticity and reorganisation of function, crowding effects, sleeper effects and altered trajectories of learning.
First UK Paediatric Neuropsychology Symposium: Part I
Institute of Child Health, London, UK
19 – 23 January 2009
This 5 day course describes how cognition and aetiology are related in a range of developmental disorders. The complexity of studying a brain that is developing abnormally is illustrated by clinical case studies and syndrome profiles. Developmental disorders used to illustrate brain-behaviour relationships include neurological disorders such as epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, and cerebrovascular disease as well as neurodevelopmental disorders such as autistic spectrum disorders, ADHD, dyslexia and dyscalculia.
