Obtaining Accessible Materials with Bookshare and Learning Ally. - Created by the Florida Instructional Materials Center for the Visually Impaired (FIMC-VI), this document explains how districts can obtain free accessible instructional materials for qualifying students.
Florida Statute 1006.38(15) - Florida statute 1006.38(15) states that "Publishers and manufacturers of instructional materials, or their representatives, shall: (15) Grant, without prior written request, for any copyright held by the publisher or its agencies automatic permission to the department or its agencies for the reproduction of instructional materials and supplementary materials in Braille, large print, or other appropriate format for use by visually impaired students or other students with disabilities that would benefit from use of the materials."
The Technology & Learning Connections (TLC) Team
is a part of the FDOE, Bureau of Exceptional Education and Student Services - funded PS/RtI Project at the University of South Florida. The TLC services support the local development of highly effective classrooms for students with disabilities based on the Florida Standards through an MTSS within a universal education system.
The TLC Team provides guidelines and resources to support the implementation of:
- The Florida B.E.S.T. Standards
- Assistive & Instructional Technology
- Accessible Educational Materials (AEM)
- Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
The team provides statewide technical assistance, training support to districts and their local assistive technology specialist (LATS) as well as the regional local assistive technology specialist (RLATS) that provide direct services to small and rural districts.
The TLC team also manages the AT & UDL Loan Library. The AT & UDL Loan Library is designed to help districts and schools implement a universal, differentiated core curriculum based on the Florida B.E.S.T. Standards. The assistive technologies available in this library can be used to identify which technologies will best support students with disabilities to participate and progress in core curriculum. The Universal Design for Learning technologies can be used to identify effective, instructional pedagogies that support highly effective learning environments. Accounts are available to district personnel approved by their respective ESE Director and BEESS Discretionary Projects personnel.
We are a part of Florida's Multi-tiered System of Supports (MTSS) initiative. Below are links to additional services.
