Instructor-led Training
Family Substance Use Disorder Prevention Education Program:
Recovery Education & Applied Learning [REAL]
Summary: This comprehensive, multi-tiered eLearning module is designed to break down complex problems into relatable and easy-to-follow steps, directions and solutions for caregivers of families affected by Substance Use Disorder (SUD).
Challenge: take dense, practical, time-sensitive information and be able to translate it to an adult learner while they are in a highly stressful mindset.
Solution: give adult learners a practical guide including concrete steps, procedural expectations and where to find resources and support for both themselves and those directly and indirectly affected by the current dynamic.
This includes SME interviews to create video scripts, workbook modules and assessments to provided simple, practical, step-by-step guides through the medical, social-emotional, intake and legal process.
SME data and practical theories informed the short introductory video scripts, full video modules, and accompanying workbook with assessment questions.
My value-add was developing numerous interactive activities for families to practice at home in order to reinforce the SME's central messages for parents and their children.
Result: a video series curriculum hosted on the organization's website that includes introductory shorts, workbook modules, video modules and learner assessments, providing a variety of access points to comprehension.
Join our panelists Kayleen Holt, Daphne Riley, Cyndi Nagel and Chris Paxton McMillin with host Dawn Metcalf as they offer their own perspectives on accessibility and inclusivity in L&D.

Accessibility Through the Looking Glass: A Conversation at AIDC23
TLDC: The Training, Learning & Development Community
I was honored to present an interactive conversation around hermeneutic perspective and design at the Accessibility & Inclusion Design Conference 2023 [AIDC23], hosting a panel of expert presenters, instructional designers and influential TLDC members. Widening the definition of "accessibility" to include best practice by making information available to all learners, we were able to think differently about our access points and and how we could be advocates for all of our learners as well as increase awareness of how our own perspectives and experiences shape how we approach and design our work.
