neurological recovery. Emphasis is placed on understanding the effects of the disease process, application of
assessment tools to guide practice, and evidence-based neuro-rehabilitation approaches. Course meets online
asynchronous. Lab provides hands-on experience with neurologic assessment and intervention techniques. Focuses on
functional application of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neurosensory systems, neuro-behavior, cognition, and
