There is a national organization which records text books for people who have some sort of reading impairment, whether it is blindness or dyslexia or some other reason. I know many people struggle with the written word, and to hear about a group such as this is heartening. If you know of somebody who might benefit from such a service please make sure to pass on the information. More information is of course contained at the links, so just consider this your little bit of good news in what has become a constant stream of bad news.
I used to be a volunteer reader for them in Manhattan. I recorded math and computer science texts, mostly.
ReplyDeleteI was there when they switched over from taping on reel to reel tapes to digital recording. Was a fun thing to do. I'd love to start doing it again.
