<p class="MsoNormal">Another way to think of it is “<b>what kind of document do you produce for a student with low vision vs mobility limitation vs learning disabilities/TBI/ADHD vs blind students</b>”? What is missing from the above list? And how would you
rank these items in order of importance? <o:p></o:p></p>
