state education department is requiring all certified teachers of the blind and
visually impaired to take an autism workshop. I have contacted a provider who is
willing to email me the handouts and I will make sure that these handouts are
transcribed into Braille, so I can effectively participate in the workshop.
However, the registration material is only accessible in a pdf format. I have
emailed the provider requesting to send me the registration material to sign up
for this workshop in either Microsoft word or text file. I would like to know
from other blind teachers or blind consumers if my request is a reasonalable
one. Please feel free to comment on my question.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>
