Design effective educational therapy plans to support academic performance through cognitive and affective remediation.
This course explores the fundamental cognitive processes that are necessary for learning to occur at maximum capacity. These include motor, auditory, visual, visual motor integration and verbal processing areas. The course will also include how to increase the functionality of these areas as well as attending skills. The "affect" of learning or how the student feels about himself in terms of academic performance will also be addressed. We review possible scenarios of client experiences and how to support their learning.
It is highly recommended that students find partners outside of class to work with to develop the activities based on concepts that are discussed in class. Reading will be assigned at first class. During this course, many objectives will be covered. Due to this large amount of information, concentration of certain topics may be altered to fit time constraints.
