Disability Services works to ensure access to University employment, courses, programs, facilities, services, and activities by documenting disabilities and providing or arranging reasonable accommodations, academic adjustments, auxiliary aids and services, training, consultation, and technical assistance. Disability Services provides the following document conversion services free of charge. Audiotape Many textbooks, novels, and periodicals are available on audiotape and can be obtained from public libraries, the Library of Congress, and Recordings for the Blind. If determined appropriate, individuals requesting taped materials should first investigate these resources. Costs for the services will be borne by the University.
Students can make requests through a disability specialist.
Audiotape recording takes a significant amount of time, depending on the size of the print document. Requests should be made at least two weeks in advance of when the material is needed. Disks or print materials may be sent to Disability Services via campus mail. Electronic Many people have access to computers with synthesized voice or braille output devices and may request an electronic version of material. Anyone can provide an electronic version of a document simply by copying the document onto a computer disk for the person making the request.
