[nabs-l] Accessibility of Pearson

[Cricket X. Bidleman]

Hi Emma and all,

Pearson products are generally accessible-ish, but there are
definitely issues with them. If you have any accessibility issues,
contact me off-list. I used to work in the accessibility department,
and I still have some useful contacts I can put you in touch with. For
obvious reasons, I would rather not put their names and email
addresses on a public email list. These issues will only be fixed if
we continue letting the software developers know that the issues exist
in the first place. Thanks!

Best,
Cricket X. Bidleman
