Re: Accessibility training?

Depending on what field you are in, Accessing Higher Ground is really
awesome. I am in higher ed and describe my first visit to that conference
as a cross between a church revival and boot camp. I learn so much and met
people that were doing what I wanted to do. I went to CSUN this year and
it was great, too, but I can imagine it being overwhelming too.

At our university, we have a lot of training courses offered online
through HR. Many of those relate to accessibility or, in my case, relate
to learning about web development so I can help campus web teams with
accessibility issues.

Hope this helps,
Rachel
