<p class="MsoNormal">CSMlearn is a freely available web-based course providing a remarkably successful method of mastering core literacy and numeracy skills while building the student’s confidence, persistence, and ability to learn on their own. We have clients
in workforce centers, high schools, and colleges across the U.S. We offer a certificate demonstrating acquisition of specific skills<span style="color:#1F497D">.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

Whereas teachers, administrators or workplace training coordinators would be asked to identify the correct course option for individuals with disabilities (and those entities have supporting documentation in hand in order to make that determination), we’re
not sure how to “verify” the appropriateness of the selection when the course taker is an individual.

during our development of accessible content – such that the accessible version may actually be easier to pass. If the relative ease became common knowledge and students signed up for it inappropriately, we may have no way of preventing this (oh, I hope to
