Introduction to the Program
Gracias a esta Postgraduate diploma 100% online, actualizarás tus conocimientos en neuroanatomía, funciones cognitivas y técnicas de intervención temprana”

Así nace este Postgraduate diploma, que abarcará la estructura y funcionamiento del sistema nervioso, incluyendo las fases del desarrollo embriológico y las distintas estructuras que conforman el sistema nervioso central. Además, se profundizará en la organización estructural y funcional de la corteza cerebral, las vías ascendentes y descendentes de la médula espinal, y las diferencias entre la práctica clínica en poblaciones infantil y adulta.
Asimismo, los enfermeros podrán identificar y conceptualizar las funciones cognitivas básicas, como la atención, la memoria y la percepción, introduciéndose en las pruebas básicas utilizadas para su evaluación. También profundizarán en la rehabilitación neuropsicológica y en cada función cognitiva, así como en la aplicación de Técnicas de Modificación de Conducta (TMC) en el ámbito logopédico para mejorar el rendimiento del tratamiento. Igualmente, se discutirá la importancia de la terapia ocupacional en la rehabilitación logopédica.
Finalmente, se ahondará en el comportamiento bucofacial innato y adquirido, los patrones motores correctos en deglución, respiración y succión, y la detección precoz de alteraciones funcionales en la alimentación. De igual forma, se destacará la importancia de las técnicas alternativas para la alimentación infantil y estrategias de intervención orofacial en niños con trastornos de deglución, capacitando a los profesionales para desarrollar programas de alimentación individualizados y adaptados.
De este modo, TECH ha desarrollado un programa completo, totalmente en línea, que aportará al alumnado la facilidad de cursarlo cómodamente, dónde y cuándo quiera. De hecho, solo necesitará un dispositivo electrónico con conexión a Internet para acceder a los materiales didácticos. Adicionalmente, se basa en la revolucionaria metodología Relearning, consistente en la reiteración de conceptos clave para la asimilación óptima y orgánica de los contenidos.
