The New AMAC Vision

You may have noticed that AMAC has recently gotten a new logo and tagline. Soon our website will be updated as well. We hope you like the new look and understand our vision for the future of AMAC.

Since the Alternative Media Access Center (AMAC) opened our doors in 2005, we have grown to offer numerous products and services to our members. Our original charter was to help students with disabilities succeed in the classroom. But now we are looking ahead at how AMAC can also serve people with disabilities in other areas of life such as the workplace and the community.

We are still offering all the products you love - accessible e-text, Braille, audio books, captioning, and more - just with a fresh new look. You've seen our new green and blue logo, as well as our new tagline "Accessibility for All". AMAC is broadening our vision to serve people with disabilities in many areas of life. We are committed to continuing to offer high quality products and services! Let us know what you think of our new look by following us on Facebook or Twitter and leaving your comments.

Bucks County Community College’s Assistive Technology Specialist Penny Gray had this to say about AMAC services: "Great turnaround time, customer service, and the cost is worth every moment we spend searching and searching, scanning and scanning, editing and editing, etc. etc. :-)."
