So if you are asking some folks to sit on the ground or stand for a long period this may or may not be comfortable for some people who are too shy to ask for different seating or to speak up mid-process to say they need to sit or move. So my recommendation is to think about physical access, movement, room to breathe, room to think, and peoples' personal (and not always obvious) abilities.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Koos you had some excellent thoughts and advice.
