Textbooks and Other Assigned Readings Many students with visual impairments use audio taped textbooks. Recorded texts are borrowed from national agencies as available. In either case, processing tape requests typically takes from six to eight weeks. Because of the amount of time required, it is essential for a student to find out from the professor prior to the beginning to the semester what books will be used. Delays in book selection place students with visual impairments at a clear disadvantage to their sighted classmates. Until the tapes arrive, the sole method of learning the materials is through a reader, which is far more time consuming, inconvenient and expensive. When ordering new textbooks, please ask for a copy of the text in e-text. Most publishers now offer this service. |
