Alternate Formats Collection for Students with Perceptual Disabilities
Eligibility for Service
The Alternate Formats Collection loans titles in alternate formats such as audiobooks, braille, large print and electronic text (pdf, word, epub). These materials are intended for use by students who have been assessed as having a perceptual disability.
Access to the Alternate Formats Collection is determined based on the criteria outlined in the Copyright Act of Canada, Section 32 (Persons with Perceptual Disabilities).
An educational professional (e.g. classroom / resource teacher, consultant) must register students with the Alternate Formats Collection to borrow or have materials produced.
Please see the Forms page for details on how to register a student.
The Alternate Formats Collection loans alternate format materials to authorized borrowers who are members of the Canadian Association of Educational Resource Centres for Alternate Format Materials (CAER).
