For over 20 years, Kurzweil Educational Systems and Benetech (Bookshare) have been working together to make sure learners of all ages have access to print materials. Both companies believe that people with print disabilities should have the same ease of access to books and periodicals that people without disabilities enjoy.

Benefits of digital AND accessible books:

• Helps create the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) and promote inclusive education
• Provides tools that support Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
• Reduces costs associated with special education accommodations - as books, memberships and training from Bookshare are FREE
