Braille literacy rights and education: textbook publishers and the Division for the Visually Impaired
Del. Code Ann. tit. 14, § 206(c)
In force.
A procurement conditions rule binding private bodies.
What it requires
- If you are a publisher of a textbook that a local education agency purchases, furnish the Division for the Visually Impaired a print or electronic copy of the textbook in the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII), from which Braille versions of the text can be produced, in addition to granting the copyright permission for transcription into Braille, large print or tape that the law already establishes (section 206(c)).
- Expect to furnish a print copy as well: the subsection states that the print copy is also required because the accompanying graphics must be reproduced by hand and some subject matter, such as mathematics, must still be hand transcribed (section 206(c)).
