This varies by state. Each state has a different acronym for
their rehab agency, and what the rehab agency covers also depends
on which state you are in.

DOR is the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation. Basically,
they
help you get a job. They will provide partial funding for
college,
including courses and course materials. They will provide
technology
if you need it, vocational training, orientation and mobility
training, etc.

Sighted students have to buy the books, so it's really not
unreasonable
for you to need to buy them as well. Though as a blind person
you do
have
access to books on Bookshare, and if you know what your books
are going
to
be several months in advance, you can request Bookshare to
produce them
for
you. Some books are also available as e-books through IBooks,
GoogleBooks,
etc., which are at least partially accessible. The only problem
with
e-books, and many bookshare books that were provided by
publishers, is
that
they often are not paginated, which makes them difficult to
cite.

Dear all,
What do you do for school books? My university converts them for
me in to
a word document but in order for them to be converted the
physical book
has
to be rented or bought. My question since physical books are
inaccessible
how can I save money and get the access I need?
