Re: [External] Re: A11y for Children: Are you available for a 2 hour meeting on September 16th?

I’ll be able to join the longer meeting next week. My two cents- maybe 30 min additional time will suffice to get an in depth look into each’ own work? 

But again, we can try this schedule and see if it works!

Cheers, Melissa

Maybe we could do 5 min ish mini previews during the 1st hour and everyone who is interested can sign up for a more in-depth presentation through a calendar sync tool that finds the optimal date/time for all interested parties? I don't have a particular agenda here and will go with whatever you think works best for the group.
