HOW CAN VISIPRINT BE OF BENEFIT TO SCHOOLS AND AGENCIES?

IN PUBLIC OR PRIVATE SCHOOLS

As visually impaired students move through the educational system, they change classrooms, instructors, and schools. These students need all of their reading materials: i.e., exams, homework assignments, handouts, book chapters, etc., modified and presented in a large print format. VisiPrint ensures that visual materials are processed efficiently and at the preferred point and font size for EACH INDIVIDUAL. Using VisiPrint, any teacher who can open a Microsoft Word document can also easily and quickly prepare appropriate large print materials for their visually impaired students.

AT THE UNIVERSITY LEVEL: FOR "OFFICES FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

College and university offices for students with disabilities are faced with modifying a tremendous amount of printed material for their visually impaired students. Athough some blind students prefer to use auditory formats, a great number of low vision students with significant residual vision conditions prefer to have printed materials. Again, the same inefficient labor-intensive manual procedure has been the rule. Universities need to prepare everything from orientation materials for incoming freshman, to a full range of classroom and reading materials throughout the students' university careers. In these environments, VisiPrint can efficiently deliver appropriate large print materials to all students with vision loss.

FOR REHABILITATION AGENCIES, STATE SCHOOLS AND AGENCIES FOR THE BLIND AND VISUALLY IMPAIRED. FOR ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROVIDE SERVICES FOR THE AGING

In the above listed environments, the need to prepare printed materials in an appropriate, accessible format is a matter of routine. Assessment materials, weekly class schedules, IWRP's, newsletters, correspondence between counselors and clients, and a full range of other visual materials needs to be regularly prepared for students, for the geriatric population, and for others with vision impairments, etc. All of these materials can be prepared efficiently and easily using VisiPrint. More importantly, they can be printed in a format that meets the exact visual needs and preferences of the individual clients.
