AMERICAN COUNCIL OF THE BLIND 4. provide capacitybuilding grants to assist state and local education agenciesin using the electronic files supplied Return to washington Connection Index. http://www.acb.org/washington/textbooks-fact02.html
Extractions: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) provides that children with disabilities, including those who are blind or visually impaired, are to be given a free and appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment possible. If this is to happen, blind students must have access to appropriate textbooks in a usable format. Unfortunately, many education agencies throughout the country have difficulty obtaining textbooks in Braille or on tape for their students in a timely fashion. All to often, the result is poor academic performance by blind students. There are a number of reasons why schools have difficulty obtaining accessible textbooks for blind students. These include lack of familiarity with the resources available for producing such texts, and the timing of the requests to Braille and recorded book producers, which doesn't give them an adequate amount of lead-time to fill the requests. It can take as long as six months to complete the production of a Braille book. In addition, once the school or education agency requests a Braille copy of a textbook, the Braille producer must obtain a copy of the appropriate electronic file from the book's publisher. Frequently, files received by the Braille producers are not usable for braille translation purposes. Recently, a number of blindness organizations including ACB, have been working with textbook publishers, special education professionals and the producers of alternate format books to find ways to eliminate some of the obstacles that prevent the timely delivery of usable textbooks to blind students. These discussions have resulted in the creation of a proposed piece of federal legislation, which all parties believe goes a long way toward resolving these difficulties. We expect this bill to be introduced in both houses of Congress within the next couple weeks, and we anticipate that it will have broad, bipartisan support.
