Introduction
Through the Print Disability Services Program, the Department funds nine print disability service providers to produce alternative formats of printed material for people who are unable to read, hold or manipulate printed material in standard form because of their disabilities. These alternative formats include:
- audiotape
- Braille
- large print, and
- computer discs.
Funding is provided for the conversion of material in alternative format.
New disability funding agreements were introduced for 2008-09.
