New Source of Instructional
Materials for Students with Print Disabilities
Accessible Instructional
Materials Center of Virginia (AIM-VA) George Mason University
On May 12, 2008, the
Virginia Superintendent of Public Instruction issued a memorandum to
local school division superintendents informing them how Virginia
will comply with IDEA mandates to provide eligible students with
accessible materials through the new Accessible Instructional
Materials Center of Virginia (AIM-VA) located at George Mason
University. The AIM-VA program should make it easier for
students to obtain needed materials and make it easier for schools
to provide needed accommodations.
While the
Superintendent’s announcement is directed specifically to local
school divisions, parents and others may also be interested in
learning more about AIM-VA.
