  • Identify and discuss the different categories of movement and ataxic disorders and list specific disorders that are most likely the source of abnormal patient movements and incoordination. 
  • Define the spectrum of specific neurological disorders that occur frequently or uniquely in Navajo Native Americans, and define social and cultural issues that are important for communicating with patients and their families. 
  • List current genetic testing as well as possible therapeutic interventions for Duchenne muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular disorders. 
  • Describe specific manifestations of severe emotional distress, sadness and chronic grief in family members of children who suffer from severe neurological disease and disability, and better understand methods to communicate more effectively with patients and families about severe emotionally distressing medical information.
