What disabilities qualify a student to be served with NIMAS-derived accessible textbooks?
IDEA 2004 includes a definition of students who may be provided with accessible textbooks created with NIMAS-conformant files from the NIMAC. That definition, used within the legislation, is “blind or other persons with print disabilities.” “Blind or other persons with print disabilities” means children served under IDEA who may qualify in accordance with the act entitled, “An Act to provide books for the adult blind,” approved March 31, 1931 (2 U.S.C. 135a; 46 Stat. 1487) to receive books and other publications produced in specialized formats [674(e)(3)(A)].
