Cognitive Accessibility Course Samples

For my graduate-level developmental psychology class in 2023, I created an Articulate Storyline 360 course focused on cognitive accessibility.  This course was part of a hypothetical series aimed at helping K-12 teachers at a virtual school increase the cognitive accessibility of their online courses.  The focus of this particular course was supporting students on the autism spectrum.  Below are a few samples from the course, and the entire course can be viewed through the PDF document to the right.
