I would also be interested in any replies as I am involved in helping
academic staff to make their programmes more accessible, and also in
ensuring our own staff development courses are as accessible as possible to
disabled staff. I tend to find that staff are mainly concerned about
physical access to the rooms (i.e. wheelchair access) so any checklists
that enable us to think a bit more broadly would be very useful. Julie do
you have any references/web sites etc relating to the checklists you
describe at Strathclyde and in New Zealand?
