I agree Glen. I prefer to have someone with me to cover situations as the ones you stated. However, this may be problematic to some teams especially if the team members are working remotely or one has an important meeting.

At work, we have created a nice list of success criteria and whom should handle each. We ended up with "SR User", "VA - Visual Assistant", "Both" and lastly "Either". This allowed us to accommodate team members that worked on different time zones or had important meetings to attend. It made the process more flexible which was what our large team needed.

If someone is working alone or in a small group, he or she can accomplish the whole evaluation without the need for a teammate. Yet, in a diverse team that has members with various disabilities, it would be better to have more of a flexible team approach. Bottom line, the business model dictates how the process should be handled best.
