Offering options for other formats

Draft web resource - Home > Designing print-based learning materials > Offering options for other formats

Students with disabilities might request materials in formats other than print. When planning print-based material, make it easy for alternative formats to be prepared, and even prepare some formats in advance.

For more information, see the section Converting materials into accessible formats

Prepare other staff

Call centre and enrolment staff are often the people that students with a disability ask for advice. Make sure that those people who are in contact with students know that learning materials in alternative formats can be supplied on request.

Staff should also know how they can make arrangements for students who need services like assistive equipment or sign language interpreters. For more information on other support services, see the section on Considering the needs of students with a disability
