As part of your learning, the course will require you to complete several learning activities using your visual and hearing abilities. Normal or near-to-normal function of these senses either naturally or with use of eyeglasses or hearing aids is sufficient. If you have significant limitations in terms of physical, visual or auditory senses, please contact the instructor through college email to discuss an alternative option that can be used for completing these learning activities.
