Darrell, perhaps you missed my original message but I did say there were several
federal laws in play with this.  I agree that there are probably some aspects to
things which could be made more accessible but ultimately so long as we live in
a sighted world not totally so.  For example, I do not ever simply sign forms
from people I do not know just because they are sent me via the mail.  I will
get a reader to check them before I sign.  Since I do ive alone in a rural area
it always requires getting a reader.  Since I need the reader anyway and will
have to pay for an hour of service I might as well just have them fill out the
form.  What I generally do is have the person on the phone read me the form so
that I have all answers ready when the reader is available and I can rapidly
complete the form.  Perhaps teaching at a university where my student's papers
are not necessarily in accessible formats has mellowed me a bit on all of this
but I usually at least try not to bite the hand that feeds me.
