with CP. Although this approach is becoming more prominent, more research studies need to be done before it can be used as an approved treatment for children with CP or other neurological disparities. TMS, is similar to TDCS, but instead of a direct pulse it uses a figure-eight electrical coil on the head to make an electromagnetic field that can control cortical excitability and make permanent changes to the brain function (Ramezani et al.). TMS is used in treating ADHD, ASD, schizophrenia,…
