Greater Credibility/Visibility in Existing Professional Role
OCR involvement
Greater influence in organizational/campus decision making related to UD and accessibility
What IADP students are saying:
"For the OCR, they (the DOE) needed a bona fide representative from our campus. I was the only one with the credentials. The IADP certificate was recognized by DOE for this OCR complaint."
"We received a complaint through the Office of Civil Rights, and we had to address that. I became more of the point person since IADP."
"Many of the southern states around NC have been hit with accessibility lawsuits, and I hope to help position the college so we do not become one of those statistics."
"This course has been extremely helpful as we write our campus policy. This area has been a real struggle for us as we are entering new territory that is unfamiliar to most people on our campus."
"Confidence is the biggest thing I got out of the program. Now people listen to my advice more respectfully because they know I have training."
