Welcome
The Round Table on Information Access for People with Print Disabilities facilitates and influences the production and use of quality alternative formats for people with print disabilities by optimising the evolving Round Table body of knowledge.
"In practice this includes examples such as:
- people with severe arthritis may have difficulty holding a book or turning pages
- people suffering from MS may have functional eyesight but may be unable to read due to severe shaking of head, hands etc
- other physical disabilities or injuries that inhibit the easy use of reading materials such as books, magazines or newspapers
- dyslexia is an example of a perceptual disability"
