You’re  Invited:
Take Part in Accessible Educational Materials Survey! 

Are you a  parent of a school-aged child with vision loss? Does your child 
require  educational materials to be made available in an alternative format for 
him or  her to succeed in school? Is your child’s school failing to provide such  
materials on time or even at all? Would you like to help make a difference in  
the lives of school-aged children with vision loss by improving the availability  
of accessible educational materials?

AFB invites all interested parents  of children with vision loss to take part in 
an exciting AFB-National Center on Accessible Instructional  Materials (AIM) 
colloborative research project that will help make the case for  change. Take 
part in an online survey designed to explore how well schools are  doing to meet 
their obligations to ensure that students with disabilities have  equal access 
to required instructional materials on the first day of  class.

Adults 18 years of age and older with school-aged children with  vision loss who 
are willing to participate in a fifteen-minute online survey  should visit:

additional  information or questions, please contact Jennifer Howard, Senior 
Policy Research  Associate, at (202) 469-6835 or JHoward at afb.net.

Please share this  announcement with all individuals and groups that should be 
aware of this  important opportunity to speak up for students with vision loss.

Thank  you for your  interest!
