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.
