Why do students with disabilities need textbook information before the semester starts?
A. Some students require text in alternative formats or need extra time to read the information necessary for the class. Putting a text book into alternative format may take several weeks to months to complete. Other students may need to begin reading required materials before the course begins in order to keep up with the scheduled reading requirements.
