Special Services for the Disabled

Recording for the Blind (RFB) is able to provide a free service to students who are unable to read normally printed material because of visual, physical, or perceptual disabilities. Made possible by contributions, RFB maintains a Master Tape Library containing over 48,000 titles. If required books are not among its holdings, and if the borrower is registered with RFB and submits two identical copies of the work, RFB will record the book. For additional information, write to Recording for the Blind, 215 East 58th Street, New York, NY 10022, or call 866-732-3585.

A free national library program of Braille and recorded materials for blind and physically disabled persons is administered by the National Library Service (NLS), Library of Congress. Ask your local public librarian for more information about the program and how to apply for the service.

If you are disabled and require special services, contact the institution offering the course you have chosen to see what services, if any, are available and how they can assist you.
