Providing the best education for our Indiana students takes a variety of resources from across Indiana and our entire nation. These are some of those initiatives, programs and groups that help promote learning.
The Indiana Center for Accessible Materials (ICAM) is pleased to announce that the Indiana Center for Exceptional Learners’ PATINS Project has entered into an agreement with Don Johnston Inc., to provide Read:OutLoud Universal Access, a digital text reader software program, to local educational agencies in Indiana. This statewide, unlimited license agreement is available through the ICAM at no cost to Indiana local educational agencies.
Indiana’s education administrators, general and special education teachers, and families will find the Read:OutLoud Universal Access software to be of particular importance to print disabled students who need access to a variety of digital alternate formats of standard print instructional material.
This statewide initiative is intended to assist local educational agencies as they strive to support the individual reading accommodations needed for students. The unlimited licensing of the product will enable your district the greatest amount of flexibility in providing reading-related accommodations to your students at school and at home. The license includes Take-Home Rights allowing the software to be provided for home use.
Registered Digital Rights Managers (DRM’s) can download Read:OutLoud Universal Access at http://www.icam.k12.in.us/DJ/DJLogin.aspx. For additional information about this offer, as well as FAQ’s, go to the PATINS website’s home page www.patinsproject.com and look under the "What’s New" tab.
