Students with diagnosed learning disabilities, whose reading comprehension is enhanced by listening or by simultaneous reading and listening, are also eligible for this service. The CAAR office has tape recorders from the Instructional Materials Center for the Visually Impaired in Springfield specifically designated for loan to students with visual disabilities. In addition, CAAR has a very limited number of recorders available for loan to students with learning disabilities.
Many students prefer to purchase recorders with a variable speed feature.
These four-track tape recorders can also be used to tape record class lectures. These fees must be paid before you can order the tapes. Once these fees are paid, you are eligible for this service for as long as you wish to utilize it. Please discuss these options with your CAAR coordinator. Contact your VR counselor to see if you qualify.
