Gregory, Well said!!! I especially liked the last ... I, too, want to see a single guidelines, not a list of required stuff and lists of recommended stuff that can be ignored. There is no way to make anything "required reading", and no guarantee that if it's just "recommended" instead of being fully included in the priority scheme, it will be taken seriously. If the guidelines separate some needs from others for disabled people, they will be engaging in the same types of discrimination that they protest against. If the needs of the cognitively disabled are dismissable, or relegated to "if you can and want to", how can there be any serious respect for the needs of the sensorily disabled?
