Where can school districts obtain accessible instructional materials for students who are blind or have other print disabilities?
In Georgia, the GIMC assists local school districts in obtaining accessible instructional materials for eligible students. Prior to ordering materials from the GIMC, districts must register students with the GIMC using the registration forms provided on the GIMC website at www.gimc.org. The GIMC is currently using a paper-based student registration system, but will be converting to a web-based application in the near future. Materials available through the GIMC are currently available in the following formats: braille, large print, and DAISY with images created from NIMAS files. In the near future the GIMC will also begin to provide DAISY with images from textbooks that do not have a NIMAS file set and is considering audio (mp3 only) files. School districts may also obtain accessible instructional materials directly from national accessible media producers such as Benetech, Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic, and the American Printing House for the Blind.
