new and emerging technologies, such as
CDs, DVDs, video streaming, and other
forms of multimedia.

accessible formats for children with
disabilities eligible for services under
Part B of IDEA, including children with
visual impairments and with other print
disabilities (section 674(e)(3)(A) of
IDEA).

provisions to improve the timely
production and dissemination of
educational materials in accessible

who have print disabilities (see sections
612(a)(23) and 674(e) of IDEA). These
provisions include the following:
