This particular course is also designed to give the learner a general overview of the brain and nervous system as well as introduce the concepts of Hemispherictiy and Functional Disconnection Syndrome. We will review in detail a standard pediatric neurology examination of newborn and children ages 0 to 3 yrs old. We also will review the basic hemisphere based physical exam. The goal of this course is to reintroduce learners to the nervous system even if they have not reviewed neuroanatomy and or neurology for years. It is meant to be an introduction for a any professional that may be relatively inexperienced in neurology. It is also designed to give the experienced neurology specialists a review of a basic pediatric neurology exam which most have never learned or have most likely forgotten. This course acts as a foundation to all of the other courses in this series. It is especially important for the inexperienced learner or someone who is not familiar with the concepts of hemisphericity. We will also present various live and videotaped cases of children with. Autism, Dyslexia, ADHD, OCD, Tourettes and discuss as a group the various treatment options. -- Carrick Institute website http://www.carrickinstitute.org/CICourses.asp.
