Teachers in Manitoba who have a student in their class who is print handicapped, may place an order at SMS on behalf of their student. Braille and large print books are intended solely for use by students who are significantly visually impaired as determined by a consultant for the visually impaired .
Audiotaped books are available for any student experiencing difficulties with printed texts.
A very limited number of books are available in E-text . SMS also loans alternate format materials to authorized borrowers who are registered with other educational resource centres for the visually impaired in Canada. Please see the contact listing . For those interested in seeing how the materials are produced, tours of the resource centre are available. Your suggestions and questions are always welcome at the Department.
