Attend An Accredited Distance Learning Doctorate Degree College
Distance learning university graduate programs are becoming more popular for postgraduate students. Many students are attending night/weekend courses for their MBA or other graduate degree. But, if you are thinking about using a distance learning program for a doctorate, there are some things you need to consider. A doctoral program usually requires research and this dissertation will have to be reviewed and approved by qualified academics in the dicipline of that research.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Rodger Bailey
Years ago I had an idea that developmental problems could be solved. I was told that it was impossible, but I continued my work. I believed that children with these problems could catch up with their peers. Little by little I discovered what sparks developmental processes. Now, after working with hundreds of children, I have a system which reliably, predictably, and consistently solves developmental problems. Developmental problems are the result of the developmental process being sluggish or stuck. The only way to solve these problems is to re-engage the developmental process and get it back on track.
- Our program involves determining what is blocking the developmental process,
- Eliminating that blockage,
- Building motor planning and sequencing capabilities,
- Making sure the developmental process is re-engaged, and
- Tracking developmental progress as the child catches up with peers.
