What it requires

  • If you are a publisher or manufacturer of instructional materials, provide to the state, at no cost, computer files or other electronic versions of each state-adopted literary title, and the right to transcribe, reproduce, modify and distribute the material in braille, large print if you do not offer a large print edition, recordings, American Sign Language videos for the deaf, or other specialized accessible media, exclusively for use by pupils with visual disabilities or other disabilities that prevent use of standard instructional materials (Educ.

  • Provide the computer files or other electronic versions of adopted materials within 30 days of the state's request, and make the files for literary titles maintain the structural integrity of the standard instructional materials, be compatible with commonly used braille translation and speech synthesis software, and include corrections and revisions as may be necessary (Educ. Code 60061(a)(7)(A)).
  • Provide computer files or other electronic versions of nonliterary titles, including science and mathematics, when technology is available to convert those materials to a format that maintains the structural integrity of the standard instructional materials and is compatible with braille translation and speech synthesis software (Educ.
