The Cerebellum & Cognition: Doing More Than Just Movement!
WEBINAR DESCRIPTION
Although the school of thought is that the cerebellum has a great impact on physical movements, recent research shows that the cerebellum is involved in cognition and language as well. This webinar will discuss the current research, the impacts of injuries to the cerebellum on language and cognition, as well as suggested practice changes that can better meet the needs of these patients from an interdisciplinary approach.
