[acb-diabetics] Seeking information

[Patricia LaFrance-Wolf]

Personally, I think we should go after the ADA as their pamphlets and small
books are not available in any format except .   I tried to get some of
their pamphlets for the diabetic educating I teach and was not able to do
that.  They  have a number of books you can purchase on Email or disc, but
most of my patients did not have computers.  I found it really frustrating.
Alice, can you send me your address?

I guess we don't need to write a letter to ADA reguarding our 
concerns about inaccessible materials. I ask for people to send me 
their experiences in not getting information in accessible formats, 
and all I am getting is that there is plenty of material available 
through NLS and NFB and I phone apps. so maybe there is no problem. 
Yet I find it amazing that at every convention people say we need to 
do something about ADA and the fact we can't get materials in an 
alternate format.
So let me put this question out there:

Do we need to even bother ADA about not having material in an alternate
format?
Please respond with a yes or no so I can let Sue know wether or not to
proceed.
Alice
