Hello,

Going back to our earlier conversation about ensuring the accessibility of Mini 
Webinars, I'm able to share MiR's Accessibility Workbook (attached).

This is of particular interest to blind R users because the RStudio IDE is not 
an option for us due to its inaccessibility.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Liz
