Why do students with disabilities need textbook information before classes begin?
For some students, reading a textbook can be a laborious or impossible task due to a reading disability or a visual impairment. These students require textbooks in an alternative format in order to have access to the information presented in the books. In order for the books to be put in another format (i.e. digital, audio or braille), textbooks are scanned or ordered on tape through Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic. Both processes are very time consuming and can take months to complete.
