Several times recently there have been articles about the value of training in order to increase understanding regarding people with disabilities, is this valid? Who does such training (I've only seen legal info)? Is this kind of concern in the realm of the HR manager?

It could be in the realm of HR managers if you wait until you have a lawsuit! It could be in the realm of your affirmative action/EEO office or HRD department, also. Increasing understanding "sensitivity" can go a long way toward preventing grievances.
I planned and facilitated a short workshop on increasing understanding of disabilities. It was only 2 1/2 hours and I heard many positive comments on how it opened their eyes. It's a matter of putting others in the shoes of a person with a disability. Most people do not intend to be insensivitive and critical, but just don't have any experience with disabilities and don't understand the issues.
