| CONTENTS |
| The course gives an advanced study in the area of cognition, communication and disability, on the basis of current research.

Memory and language are studied around different themes, such as hearing, reading, writing and development. The course highlights typical and atypical neurological, cognitive and linguistic development. The basic concepts and theories that are highlighted during the course are applied on patient groups such as cerebral paresis, autism, CI, learning disability and language disorder. Clinical applications, such as testing and assessment from patient case are an important part of the course. |
