Alternate Media Types:
Alternate media types may include: Braille, Tactile Graphics (a "feelable" form
of picture), Audio Tapes, Large Print, or Computers.
Braille:
Disability Services has a Braille printer, as well as translation software
available in the Alternate Media section of Pickler Memorial Library. Disability
Services will happily translate any materials needed into Braille. Please allow
2-3 days for translation.
Audio Tapes:
Disability Services can provide material in audio format for study and testing
purposes. Please contact Disability Services
for more information.
Large Print:
For individuals with a moderate visual disability, large print tests are often
desirable.
Large print should be about 24 point font.
Computers:
Computers can be a valuable learning tool for individuals with disabilities.
Providing class notes and tests in digital format allows students with mild to
moderate visual disabilities to enlarge font sizes, or use a page magnification
device to read printed material. For students who are blind or dyslexic, a
computer allows the use of a screen reader.
