Hi Pamela, The website gives the closing date for responses as 13th May. I read (or rather, tried to read) the "background" paper, just out of interest - "plain english" certainly seems to have been a "concept to be avoided". Do you know: 1) whether this survey is still open? 2) who is invited to respond? (it seems to be addressed specifically to Australian academics) Best wishes, Liz I raise money for Communication Matters with Everyclick.com Find out how you can help here: http://www.everyclick.com/lizpanton On 10 August 2010 00:49, pamela Waugh <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > From: [log in to unmask] > [[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Helen Makeham > [[log in to unmask]] > Sent: Monday, 15 March 2010 2:01 PM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: [austed] Is disability a Concept to be Avoided? > > Greetings Everyone > The Australian Tertiary Education Network on Disability (ATEND) is > coordinating a survey of Australian disability practitioners in the > tertiary education sphere.
