I've also tried to start a discussion here in Ontario on inclusive
curriculum for primary, secondary and tertiary education -
http://www.karlencommunications.com/adobe/OntarioEducationAndAODA.pdf

It is a tagged PDF document and is accessible. I've been quietly advocating
this for years and finally put "pen to paper."

If we have graduates with the skills base to begin with there is no
additional cost because it is simply what we do. We don't have to retrain
employees and new products would be inherently accessible.

Again, just thinking out loud.....Cheers, Karen
