Accessible Instructional Materials

2012

Through federal funding to the state, CDS is partnering with the Delaware Department of Education to help students, families, educators, and administrators understand the value of Accessible Instruction Materials and the ways to match student needs to various print alternatives. The AIM approach modifies the delivery of print in such a way that students can more easily access it. Examples include altering the appearance of the print by making it larger, changing the font, increasing the ?white space? on the page, or decreasing the distractions on the page; providing an audio supplement to the text so that a student both sees it and hears it; or delivering print content with the support of a text reader (such as Kurzweil) that provides highlighting, supported horizontal tracking, word definitions, and other supports.
