In-depth knowledge of neurodevelopment and its multiple implications in a comprehensive program meant to propel you to the next professional level”

It covers a broad spectrum of intervention that requires the professional to have very specific specialization in the various branches of brain development. This discipline, deeply linked to neurology and the physiological study of the brain, is affected by the changes that the evolution of knowledge in this scientific branch achieves. This means for the professional an intense challenge of permanent updating that allows them to be at the forefront in terms of approach, intervention and monitoring of the cases that may arise in the classroom.

Throughout this program, the student will go through all the current approaches in the work of the neuropsychologist in the different challenges that their profession as a teacher poses.

The functioning of memory, language, the relationship between laterality and cognitive development, sensoriality and many other aspects, will be the topics of work and study that the student will be able to integrate in their specialization. A high-level step that will become a process of improvement, not only on a professional level, but also on a personal one.

This is one of the challenges that TECH assumes as a social commitment: to help highly qualified professionals to update and develop their personal skills, to know the relationship between motor skills and the psyche and its implications for its development.

We will not only take you through the theoretical knowledge we offer, but we will introduce you to another way of studying and learning, one which simpler, more organic, and efficient. We will work to keep you motivated and to create in you a passion for learning. Furthermore, we will push you to think and develop critical thinking.

An educational program created for professionals who aspire for excellence, and that will enable you to acquire new skills and strategies easily and effectively”
