It's all in the details...

A good sign for Universal Design:

If you click on the below, it will take you to a conference agenda/registration - Looks like a pretty normal, regular one... but I liked what I saw on the right-hand side. There is a section called "accommodations." It says: "Alternative formats available upon request." It also give the TTY number and indicates the facility is wheelchair accessible. How cool is that!? What if EVERY business/service website had a little section like this? I think - HOPE - someday people will take for granted it was always there. It's kind of cool to see some pioneering, but I just wish everyone would hurry and get the wagons agoin'!

This is great. I was a little misled with the underlining and expected it to link to a section, but it's a great step to even have it included.

I agree - in the future it would be nice if they have, as you said, a link to say more about the alternative formats. I was left with the same feeling as you - at least it's a step in the right direction. Cheers.
