What part does the students Individual Education Plan (IEP) play in the eligibility process?
The IEP is a vital first step if the student seeks a NIMAS file. Without an IEP, a student is not considered for possible NIMAS eligibility. However, by itself, this documentation is not sufficient to verify eligibility. The eligibility form must be completed in addition. (Be aware though that more publishers are now freely providing CD or online versions of student books that would allow for easy access for all students regardless of ability or disability. Please check with your local textbook sales person to see if a digital version of the textbook is available. Make sure you verify the publisher’s version will allow access with assistive technology.
