Session content: What you can expect from your NeuroKnowHow sessions.
First Session: An in-depth discussion to establish the learner’s current level of computer skills, learning and course/workplace needs.

Following sessions:
- Introducing software
- Showing how software can be applied to studying and employment tasks
- Providing multi-sensory techniques to find the learning method that best suits the client
- Incorporating referencing and note-taking strategies, using open source referencing and bibliography software
