He has also been invited to give presentations and workshops at internationally-attended conferences. Jonathan has written several articles and tutorials featured both on the WebAIM Web site and in their training guide. In 2004, he also supervised the design and development of the WebAIM Coordination and Leadership Training Event as well as the creation of the subsequent CD-ROM.
