[humanser] Requesting feedback on how to handle attending training sessions

[Shannon Cook]

Hi,

My philosophy is that no question is silly if you are not sure of the answer.  Plus it gives the list a chance to share ideas, as we may not all agree.  In this case, it seems that we do.

In my experience, presenters appreciate being given a heads up on providing any accommodations of alternative media; since not everyone thinks of that in advance.

Thank you very much for your input. This is what my gut instinct was, but I wanted to make sure that it was an appropriate thing to do. Now thinking about it my question seems kind of silly but I'm learning as I go. :)
