About the course

This course contains 19 sequentially numbered modules and 59 focused lessons. The lessons teach foundations and safety, then attention and body–brain concepts, symptom descriptions and finding information, rehabilitation, pacing, treatment and everyday life.

Automatically generated lessons are temporary working drafts while the project lead develops human-authored versions. Publication checks address evidence, safety, citations, navigation and technical behavior. Human authoring and two later audits follow; these checks are not independent clinical sign-off.

The Reference Library contains symptom-specific information, diagnostic methods, coexisting conditions and recovery approaches. Original artwork, puzzles and downloadable materials remain in their separate asset collections.
