The Master intends to provide the clinical and operative tools for immediate operation and provides for an initial general theoretical training module followed by a technical-applicative training module equal to 43 CFU with a compulsory internship equal to 12 CFU, and a final exam equal to 5 CFU (Total 60 credits, 1500 total hours of teaching, internship and individual study).
The didactic articulation of the two training modules includes:
Theoretical general module
Lessons will take place from January to June. The teachings are about principles of clinical cognitive neuroscience. The general address module is aimed at the construction of functional knowledge and skills to the understanding of diagnosis, to the construction of a expert language in order to make communication and multidisciplinary management possible, and to identify the functional areas to be treated. The general theoretical module includes the following disciplinary fields:
- Foundations of Neurophysiology
- Special Pedagogy
- Neurological foundations and neuropsychological basis of learning difficulties and major neuropsychological deficits
- Nosography, etiology, epidemiology and neuroradiology of specific learning disabilities
- Neuropsychology of attention, executive functions, memory
- Development and Psychopathology of Specific Developmental Disorders
- Principles of neuropsychological rehabilitation
- Neurological foundations, neuropsychological bases and clinical characteristics of learning difficulties and major neuropsychological deficits
- Models of intervention in the rehabilitation of specific language disorders
The teachings relating to the general theoretical module of the course will be proposed through training remotely (synchronous and asynchronous) and in presence (optional).
Technical module - application
Lessons will take place from September to December. In this module you will learn about theneuropsychological assessment e neuropsychopathological through tests and scales, on the evaluation and diagnosis of patients with DSA and on taking charge of the patient and the caregiver. Participants in the Master will be able to acquire the necessary skills for conduct neuropsychological assessments. The technical-application module includes the following disciplinary areas:
- Reading Disorders Characteristics and Diagnostic Procedures
- Writing disorders Characteristics and diagnostic procedures
- Calculus disorders Characteristics and diagnostic procedures
- Attention disorders Characteristics and diagnostic procedures
- Neuropsychological rehabilitation of reading and writing disorders
- Computer tools in the Re-education of DSA
- Drafting of the report in the expert consultancy
- Psychopathological correlates of DSA and comorbidities
- Clinical cases
The teachings relating to the technical-applicative module of the course will be proposed through training remotely (synchronous) and in presence (optional).
Attendance at lessons in synchronous mode must be guaranteed for 66 hours in the general module and 66 hours in the technical-applicative module.
