SUMMARY:

assess the barriers and systemic issues
that may affect, and technical solutions
available that may improve, the timely
delivery and quality of accessible
instructional materials for
postsecondary students with print
disabilities, as well as the effective use
of such materials by faculty and staff;
and (II) make recommendations related
to the development of a comprehensive
approach to improve the opportunities
for postsecondary students with print
disabilities to access instructional
materials in specialized formats in a
time frame comparable to the
availability of instructional materials for
postsecondary nondisabled students.
In making recommendations for the
study, the Commission shall consider—
(I) how students with print disabilities
may obtain instructional materials in
accessible formats within a time frame
comparable to the availability of
instructional materials for nondisabled
students; and to the maximum extent
practicable, at costs comparable to the
costs of such materials for nondisabled
students; (II) the feasibility and
technical parameters of establishing
standardized electronic file formats,
such as the National Instructional
Materials Accessibility Standard as
defined in Section 674(e)(3) of the
Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act, to be provided by publishers of
instructional materials to producers of
materials in specialized formats,
institutions of higher education, and
eligible students; (III) the feasibility of
establishing a national clearinghouse,
repository, or file-sharing network for
electronic files in specialized formats
and files used in producing
instructional materials in specialized
formats, and a list of possible entities
qualified to administer such
clearinghouse, repository, or network;
(IV) the feasibility of establishing
market-based solutions involving
collaborations among publishers of
instructional materials, producers of
materials in specialized formats, and
institutions of higher education; (V)
solutions utilizing universal design; and
(VI) solutions for low-incidence, highcost requests for instructional materials
in specialized formats.
During the meeting, the Commission
will discuss the first draft of the final
report. Given the limited meeting time,

there will be an opportunity for public
comment during the teleconference
meeting. Members of the public are
encouraged to submit written comments
to the AIM Commission website at
aimcommission@ed.gov, and the
