[acb-diabetics] Seeking information

Alice,

My response, is that it depends on the media in which materials are
provided, and in the level of knowledge being shared by the ADA to diabetes
educators.   I was not offered any accessible materials locally.  I doubt
that much, if anything is available in braille, a much preferred media for
some of us who want to review materials quickly.   The other ADA says that
the reciipient of equal and affective communications can request material in
his/her preferred media unless it is an undue burden for the provider to
create.

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
