Narrative
Over the past 3 years, Florida Atlantic University has provided an accessible format materials portal to students, staff and faculty across all campuses including students enrolled in online classes. This has allowed the upload of a wide range of inaccessible materials which are automatically returned in a comprehensive range of accessible formats (including accessible PDF and Microsoft Word files, Braille and audio files) to individuals with print disabilities at FAU. This service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to ensure continuously available accessibility. The portal is also used by Student Accessibility Services staff and faculty members to create accessible format learning materials as well as accessible file creation from older FAU Library materials. The purpose of this proposal is to request the continued funding to provide this essential accessibility service that benefits not only students with disabilities, but all students as a Universal Design initiative for a further 3 years.
