Yes! The SDC program, created by Veronica who has both personal experience with disability and a graduate education background, was developed with consideration to diverse learning needs. Many of our students and graduates have disabilities. Our course includes:
- Content in multiple formats, including captioned videos and written materials.
- Open-book, retakeable multiple choice quizzes for each lesson.
- Detailed project rubrics, with the option to resubmit projects before the final week.
- Alternative submission methods for written essays (list form, audio recordings).
- Ongoing email support, including reminders of deadlines to help students stay on track.
The course spans a 12-week period and includes a built-in flex week. This firm deadline is important for our training objectives and group dynamics. This deadline also enables Veronica to provide ongoing support to students and graduates, and to sustain Cooperative Paws’ educational programs effectively.
