Thanks for this course information; I may sign up for it.

As always, I found the question regarding its platform accessibility to be responded to in terms of "access with a screenreader." What about the platform's accessibility for persons with dexterity impairments and who are using speech recognition software? Has this online learning platform being tested with a variety of assistive technologies or just with screen readers? Does the content of this course authentically address the diversity of disabilities, persons with disabilities, and assistive technologies? Or does it just address blind persons and screen readers?
