Get Involved with Our Efforts to Pass the Accessible Instructional Materials in Higher Education Act

This bill works to create voluntary guidelines for accessibility in higher education to provide direction for educators, suggest practices for software developers, and most importantly, put students with print disabilities on equal playing ground with their classmates! Read more about our efforts and how you can get involved by visiting the Braille Monitorto see an important note from our former President, Kathryn Webster, that was published earlier this year.
