Cognitive Distortions

Who it was for

Clients in residential treatment, working through the session again on their own between groups.

The problem

The same content has to reach a clinician delivering a group and a client sitting alone with it at nine at night. Those are different registers, not different content, and a tool that only exports one shape cannot do both.

What I did

Built the lesson directly in HTML rather than in Rise, to keep control of the things authoring tools decide for you. Every interaction is a real button or input, so the whole lesson runs on a keyboard; the layout reflows rather than scaling; motion respects the reduced-motion preference; nothing is recorded, which the lesson says out loud because it matters to this audience.

What this shows

• Re-registering one content base for a second audience
• Interaction patterns built to WCAG rather than to a tool default
• Front-end development as an instructional design capability
