[Athen] Accessibility training vendor recommendations

[Tara Robertson]

I went to Karen from Karlen Communications preconference on accessible 
documents at CSUN, as well as her session on PDF/UA and they were both 
excellent. The handouts that she shares on her site are really useful.

I also attended sessions from staff from Simply Accessible, and they 
were also great. In particular, I think Derek Featherstone, was an 
engaging and knowledgable presenter.

I'm not sure if either of these companies charge in US or Canadian, but 
the Canadian dollar sucks right now, so you might get some added value 
there.

Cheers,
Tara
