If you’re a psychologist, neurologist, psychiatrist, social worker, educator or allied health professional, clear your calendar for May 15 and 16 – Visiting Angels is proud to announce that we will be sponsoring the SuperBrains: Exploring the Neuroscience of Extraordinary Abilities event, hosted by The Cleveland Clinic, with conferences taking place at both the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino and Keep Memory Alive Event Center. With an educational focus on a better understanding of the brain’s neuroscience behaviors and showcasing examples of exceptional human abilities and behavior, SuperBrains is poised to represent an invaluable source for information pertaining to positive neuroscience.
If optimization and enhancement of quality of life for patients is something you deem important – as well as for your colleagues and even yourself – the SuperBrains conference is the place to be on May 15 and 16. Healthcare providers will learn everything there is to know about the positive influences of neuroscience for the purpose of enhancing their own clinical practices, and upon completion of the program participants will be in a position to explain how the brain changes in response to a specific task and subject matter, demonstrate successful “brain aging” analysis as well as identify the underlying factors that contribute to cognitive longevity, discuss the ins and outs of “neural underpinnings” in relation to humor development and its lifetime influence on resilience, describe the differences between everyday creativity and exceptional creativity…and much more.
At the heart of the SuperBrains event will be Sarah Banks, PhD/ABPPN/CN, head of the Neuropsychology Program at The Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas, who has been appointed course director for the program. Sarah brings a wealth of experience and expertise qualifications encompassing patient cognitive profile characterizations, as well as the integration of this information with medical and psychological factors to aid in diagnosis and appropriate intervention techniques. Adding to her already formidable background is the fact that she is an expert in assessing patients with disorders including dementia, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s Disease – to say nothing of her work with patients suffering with other neurological conditions.
SuperBrains will take place at the Keep Memory Alive Event Center on Friday, May 15 and at Las Vegas' iconic Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino on Saturday, May 16.
