ALTERNATE MEDIA (ALT MEDIA)

Alternate media includes instructional materials, textbooks, and college publications, which are converted into accessible formats for students with disabilities. The purpose of alternate media is to allow access for students, who due to their disability cannot easily use standard print materials.

TYPES OF ALTERNATE MEDIA AVAILABLE INCLUDE:

• Electronic text (e-text)
• Audio books from Learning Ally
• Tactile graphics
• Braille 
• Large print

Computer Programs and Apps

There are several programs and apps that are available for students to install on their home devices or access in a computer lab on campus.

Most programs are available for download for PC, Mac, Chromebook, Tablet or Smart Phone.  There are text-to-speech programs for converting digital text to audio, audiobooks apps, speech-to-text programs for dictation, screen magnification programs, and more.

During your ATC intake appointment, we will provide instruction on how to use these programs and provide information on how to download them onto your devices at home.
