Rather than offering a dogmatic blueprint or claiming there is only one correct way to write programs, \u003ci\u003eIndividualized Training\u003c\/i\u003e emphasizes that effective programming depends on understanding context, recognizing deficits, and learning how and when to apply a wide variety of tools. A good program is not built from every possible assessment, training split, exercise, or training method but from selecting the right options for the right person. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eEarn continuing education credits\/units!\u003c\/b\u003e A continuing education exam that uses this book is also available.
