LIBRARY MATERIALS: What are strategies that can be used by students with low vision to access printed library materials?
A Pages can be enlarged with a photocopier for a student able to read large print. An article can be scanned and accessed by a computer with speech and/or large-print output. A closed-circuit television (CCTV) can enlarge the printed material for the student. A reader may read the article aloud to the student. The disabled student services office may be asked to prepare printed articles in an alternate format or provide a reader. A complete list of recommendations for creating text for people with low vision can be found on the American Foundation for the Blind’s website, http://www.afb.org/.
