Report of the Advisory Commission on Accessible Instructional Materials in Postsecondary Education for Students with Disabilities
by The Advisory Commission on Accessible Instructional Materials in Postsecondary Education for Students DisabilitiesAfter much research, testimony, and intense discussion, the Commission has prepared this report to provide insights into the array of barriers that often confront postsecondary students with disabilities. Among these barriers are instructional materials, technologies and operating systems which, in some circumstances, are transitory and, with effort, correctable. In other situations, however, challenges presented to making these necessary items accessible are more significant due to the limited resources of campus disability resource/service (DR/S) offices, the increasing complexity and modalities of emerging instructional materials and the delivery systems employed to utilize these materials. It is critical that these and other obstacles be removed.
