[Ohio-talk] in-house Braille transcriber for students requesting textbook and other materials in Braille

[Richard Payne]

	Ohio State University's Office of Student Life Disability Services
now has an in-house Braille transcriber for students requesting textbook and
other materials in Braille, providing a faster and more cost-effective way
to serve the needs of students and university departments. SLDS's Lisa Vogt
recently became a certified Braille transcriber through the National Library
Service literary Braille transcription program. If you would like any of
your materials produced in Braille format, please email SLDS at
slds-braille at osu.edu <mailto:slds-braille at osu.edu> .

Also there is a new scholarship for Braille users at Ohio State: 

Buckeye Braille Scholarship and Support Fund | Fund Number: 316584 
This fund's goal is to promote the use of Braille on the Ohio State
University campus. The fund provides scholarships to students with
disabilities. Expenditures may be used for tuition, housing, textbooks or
other educational expenses, or to purchase assistive technology devices.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back
