===Overview===<br />
<br />
The provisioning of accommodations is a key service provided by the Disability Support Services (DSS) Office at post secondary institutions. Those accommodations range from adjusted time to time intensive accommodations like Alternative Media. Assuring that students with print related disabilities have equal access to the information they're presented with in class is often time consuming and complicated. <br />
<br />
This presentation will explore the processes and options for providing alternative media accommodations to students. It will provide a foundational understanding of books in alternate format, the support services that will make the accommodation more effective and ways lower cost and the challenges of providing the accommodation.<br />
