Beginner Barrier-free Web Design: http://easi.cc/workshops/easiweb.htm
This course will teach the basic principles of designing accessible Web
pages and does this in non-technical language focused on designers who know
little HTML code and rely on authoring tools to help them.  If you have to
create Web pages but do not care to become an HTML expert, this is for
you.  A new feature of the course is teaching participants to use software
tools to repair pages with accessibility problems.  At the end of the month
you will be able both to design accessible pages and to repair existing
pages with problems.

Train the Trainer: http://easi.cc/workshops/train.htm
If your job is to train people with disabilities on a wide variety of
software provided by your institution and need help to cope with a wide
variety of packages and a broad spectrum of disability groups, Train the
Trainer is your "leg up".  The course has 2 new lessons: one focusing on
training people with learning disabilities to use technology and another
walking you through the task of report-writing your recommendations for
specific clients and also for your program.

Learning Disabilities and Information Technology
http://easi.cc/workshops/ld.htm
If you are overwhelmed by the different types of learning disabilities and
with the tools to assist people with these conditions, this course will
help give you focus and resources.  Frequently some members of this
population resist using technology.  This course can help you to overcome
this negative attitude.
