AHASRADA Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 All this talk about Bookshare and Learning Ally got me thinking. Both services are restricted to print disabled students in the US. Is there anything similar for students in Canada? I'm thinking there must be audio textbook support available, but I'm only familiar with the US options. My dyslexic dd will be attending college in Canada in a few years, and I'm trying to get an accommodation plan in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lots of boys Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I'm in Canada and my dyslexic son was given access to CNIB audio books. I don't think they have text books, but they have a lot of excellent fiction and non-fiction books that my son enjoys. It is a bit of a process to get set up, but it has really helped him a lot. Contact your local CNIB and ask about it. I was surprosed when I realized they will assist anyone with a print disability, not just those with vision loss.

AHASRADA Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Thanks, exactly what I was looking for, I just didn't know what it was called in Canada. I'm annoyed that the neuropsych never mentioned it, grrr. I'll keep digging for the textbooks. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
