Re: Document imaging/scanning

Laurie;

Given that you are working with learning disabled students you may be
interested in the following resource:

There is a service from the University of Georgia that can provide
accessible versions of textbooks and other materials to you.

Schools join the The Alternative Media Access Center (AMAC) and then
can request production of existing print books or other materinals
which will be delivered n a range of accessible formats such as
accessible PDF and so on.
