"Dr. Coppard was an important part of our team in preparation for ACOTE reaccreditation at Florida International University.  Her valuable feedback was instrumental in helping us focus on key details. She provided examples and resources to support our work.  In preparation for the site visit, she set up a Zoom meeting, conducted a mock interview of the faculty group, and then debriefed with us. We all felt that the exercise provided invaluable practice and confidence building.  Our report of the onsite visit (ROSE) indicated no areas of noncompliance. I would highly recommend Dr. Coppard."

"Dr. Coppard shared valuable resources, knowledge, and experience regarding the ACOTE accreditation process. Importantly, she offered feedback to faculty in a way that was responsive and encouraging. We very much appreciated her approachability and timely responses to our questions and program ideas. Her advice enabled us to achieve Candidacy Status and subsequent initial accreditation for a 7 year period."

"Dr. Coppard was instrumental as a consultant to assist the Midwestern University OT Program faculty prepare for our onsite accreditation process.  She reviewed all our written material prior to her three-day visit, examined course materials, and provided constructive feedback on these vital documents.  She spent considerable time to interview all faculty, current students, and answer my questions about what we might expect.  In addition, she prepared a thorough, well-written, and informative final report.  Her consultation “over-prepared” us for the actual ACOTE onsite visit.  Due in large part to her efforts, the faculty came through this process stronger and in confident in the good work we do as faculty.  What an excellent consultant!"
