Students with print disabilities, such as blindness or low vision, a physical disability that makes it difficult or impossible to hold a book or turn pages, or a severe learning disability, are unable to access print textbooks and instructional materials. They need timely, equal access to the general curriculum through accessible formats. With Bookshare, teachers can open the world of books for students with print disabilities, encourage independent reading, and equalize educational opportunities.
