Stakeholder groups responded similarly to this question. As Table 3 illustrates, 'Regular Print' was the most frequent response when all stakeholder groups were combined and when each individual group was examined separately. Computer online (53 percent) and computer files and disks (49 percent) followed this response. The least frequent responses were 'Braille' (18 percent) and 'Non-English Language' (14 percent). Of those stakeholders who chose 'Non-English Language', 85 percent indicated that the language was Spanish. Examining the stakeholder groups individually, the SDSE and IL respondents preferred a greater variety of formats, while LEG identified fewer of the information formats.
