Helping Your Young Client Persevere in the Face of Learning Differences is a 3-hour online video CE
course. Clinicians and teachers working with students struggling at grade level are committed to raising
their students achievement potential by creating opportunities to learn. In order to accomplish this, they
need to learn new techniques that can help encourage discouraged students particularly those who have
different ways of learning by supporting and motivating them without enabling self-defeating habits. This
course will provide new strategies and techniques for helping students minimize the patterns of learned
helplessness they have adopted, appreciate and maximize their strengths, develop a growth mindset, value
effort and persistence over success, view mistakes as opportunities to learn, and develop a love of learning
that will help them take personal responsibility for their school work. Course #30-75 | 2014 | 21 posttest

Biology of Aging: Research Today for a Healthier Tomorrow is a 2-hour online course. What is aging?
Can we live long and live welland are they the same thing? Is aging in our genes? How does our
metabolism relate to aging? Can your immune system still defend you as you age? Since the National
Institute on Aging was established in 1974, scientists asking just such questions have learned a great deal
about the processes associated with the biology of aging. Technology today supports research that years ago
would have seemed possible only in a science fiction novel. This course introduces some key areas of
research into the biology of aging. Each area is a part of a larger field of scientific inquiry. You can look at
each topic individually, or you can step back to see how they fit together, interwoven to help us better
understand aging processes. Research on aging is dynamic, constantly evolving based on new discoveries,
and so this course also looks ahead to the future, as todays research provides the strongest hints of things to
come. Course #20-85 | 2012 | 30 pages | 15 posttest questions
