What Our Clients Say

Five Stars

"I reached out and hired Dr. Nicole L’Etoile, IAAP, to review a Storyline module I created for an accessibility and engagement audit. I received a comprehensive report and a follow-up video chat within a few days. I was impressed with the report’s thoroughness and how easily Nicole explained the issues that needed to be resolved. Nicole and I connected on LinkedIn six months ago and had several video chats and many DMs. We built trust throughout, and I’m so happy I could engage in her services. As you might guess, I highly recommend her for any accessible audits you may need."

The course Making Online Content Accessible for All was inspiring, humbling, and eye-opening. There is so much content to learn, but it was broken down into meaningful and logical chunks for each week. The materials were informative and relevant and also showed the human side, which really drove home the purpose and importance of learning the content. Nicole truly walks the talk and offered options for accessing content and for submitting assignments. She gave excellent feedback along the way and was always quick to respond with suggestions and support. Learning from others in the cohort was also tremendously helpful. Having a group so willing to share their perspectives and experiences enhanced the course.  I know that I still have a lot to learn, but I also feel more comfortable in knowing how to navigate the guidelines, in building with accessibility at the forefront, and in utilizing resources. I will continue to evolve and to champion accessibility.

This course was an excellent overview of WCAG guidelines and the auditing process for learning programs. It helped me feel more confident in my understanding of accessibility, gave me some foundational knowledge to prepare for the CPACC certification, and introduced me to some intelligent, like-minded people as part of my cohort. 'm not just satisfied with my experience. I'll champion Dr. Nicole and her course at every opportunity, because it truly was worth everything I put into it.

"As the newly appointed Director of Technology for a complex network of seven schools across five districts, I faced significant post-pandemic challenges. Our district’s EdTech landscape was fragmented, making it crucial to assess our current state, identify tools, and establish a common vision for digital equity. Dr. L’Etoile was pivotal in addressing these challenges. She designed a comprehensive professional development program, uniting 15 key stakeholders across our schools. Her leadership fostered collaboration, bridging gaps in EdTech understanding and practice, leading to a more cohesive approach to technology integration. In addition to her work with our professional development program, Dr. L’Etoile provided me with invaluable strategic guidance as I embarked on my new role. She served as a thought partner throughout the entire process, helping me to prioritize our goals, develop a clear roadmap for the future, and navigate the complexities of our organizational structure. Her expertise and support were instrumental in shaping our district’s approach to digital equity. As a result of Dr. L’Etoile’s efforts, we now have a shared vision for EdTech across our schools. We are currently moving into the analytical phase of our EdTech inventory, and we feel confident in our direction because of the solid foundation she helped us establish. Her contributions have set us up for long-term success in ensuring equitable access to technology for all students. For anyone considering hiring Dr. L’Etoile, I highly recommend her. Her ability to unite people, create a cohesive strategy, and drive meaningful change is unparalleled. Dr. L’Etoile is the ideal choice."
