Alternative Format Services

Students with visual impairments, learning disabilities or other conditions that affect access to print materials may be eligible for books in alternative format which may include textbooks and other printed class materials in digital format, Braille, or audio and electronic format.  Alternative format materials are received from Learning Ally (LA), Bookshare, or created in the DSS office. Locally-produced media is provided to students using Kurzweil Firefly which allows the material to be downloaded to the device of choice.

Eligible students:

• Should request and complete the Alternative Format Request form as soon as possible to prevent delay in obtaining materials.
• Should notify their coordinator of potential needs upon registering for classes.
• Provide copies of the text purchase/rental receipts.
• Contact their coordinator with any changes or issues.
