In this lab video, the top half of the frame will reveal what the infant is shown, whereas the bottom half reveals the infant's reaction. 3 Wed, 29 Aug 2007 03:17:37 GMT http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/koller/ipod/Weston04.m4v Education http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/koller/ipod/Weston04.m4v At the first and only sanctioned online-degree program with a focus on mental health issues in schools in the country, students can take individual courses based on their unique needs through continuing education, and even earn a degree at the Masters or Education Specialist level. Recognized as a national model, the Center’s online program focuses on evidence-based practice and on current, practical application-driven principles and tested theories; people working in the field can take coursework in areas with which they are being confronted professionally. 3 Wed, 28 Nov 2007 16:04:45 GMT
