So I just got a tweet about this interactive discussion from the American Association for People with Disabilities:
There is, of course, nothing in the description about whether they know how to handle a participant calling via relay, whether there will be real-time captioning provided, or really, what anyone's supposed to do who might not be able to "listen for the prompt".
Folks? Your hearing privilege is showing...
(I really need to add a 'facepalm' icon now that DW offers more icons to free users, heh.)
FIRST-EVER Organizer's Forum!So, how are they doing this forum?

(If you haven't done a conference call before, at the set time, just call the number, listen to the prompt, and when it asks for the code, enter the code, including # sign. Then you will be connected!)
