phenomenal course! sooo timely not only because I work with active agers in their 70s, 80s and 90s but because my own mother is showing very destressing signs of cognitive decline and I desperately need to help her. Dr Dianne Mccaughey was amazing at clearly articulating what, why, and how we can help our clients and ourselves. I loved that she had a gentle, kind sense of humor and honestly gave me hope about the future. So happy i took this course and going to do further courses related specifically to cognition asap.

Help Fend Off Cognitive Decline in Active Agers
Working with the active aging community gives you the chance to help people maintain their health—and their independence. Cognitive decline is one of the largest factors in the loss of independence, and it’s an issue that is growing worldwide. According to World Health Organization, around 50 million people have dementia, and that number is projected to reach 82 million in 2030. Exercise, however, may be the key to keeping people healthy both physically and mentally. Research now indicates that cognitive decline can improve with specialized exercises that combine physical and cognitive elements.
In this video training, Dianne McCaughey Ph.D.—a gerontology expert, international speaker and author—will teach you the science of exercise for the active ager. With a focus on building neuroplasticity, you will learn how to design exercises and activities that stimulate the brain and the body simultaneously. The course offers practical, evidence-based information and tools to help stimulate cognitive function in your aging clients so they can thrive in their golden years.
You will learn:
- The levels of cognitive and emotional function
- The risk factors for cognitive decline and implement strategies to manage and prevent them
- To apply simple, social and fun activities to stimulate various aspects of cognitive function

I got several new-to-me ideas for my students and classes with active and not-so-active agers! Thanks.
Great video with useable class/client activities.
Excellent practical information with useful sample approaches for exercise design.
