My recent studies with CAA challenged my issues with foundational learning and retention. My intense commitment and drive to master this course compelled me to spend many extra hours organizing, editing and creating detailed notes and tools, complete with a filing system that enables me to reference exact course content to support my peers quickly utilizing my love for tech. Refusing to let auditory processing and Heather's gift for speedy, thorough communication I feel this could eventually enrich the CAA community and assist those who struggle with dyslexia, auditory processing, and other learning obstacles.
