IOS and Accessible Instructional Materials (AIM)

22

Definition: Free Instructional Material

23

Accessible instructional materials, or AIM, are materials that are designed or converted in a way that makes them usable across the widest range of student variability regardless of format (print, digital, graphical, audio, video). IDEA

(Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) specifically focuses on accessible formats of print instructional materials. In relation to IDEA, the term AIM refers to

print instructional materials that have been transformed into the specialized formats of braille, large print, audio, or digital text.

http://aim.cast.org/learn/accessiblemedia/allaboutaim

Legal Context of AIM What are Print

Instructional Materials?

What is Meant by the Term

“Related Printed Core Materials”

IDEA 2004 defines "print instructional materials" as printed “textbooks and related

printed core materials that are written and published primarily for use in elementary

school and secondary school instruction and are required by a state education agency or

local education agency for use by students in a classroom” (IDEA [674(e)(3)(C)]).

24

As stated above, these materials are “written and published primarily for use in elementary

and secondary school instruction and are required by a state education agency or local

education agency for use by students in a classroom.” They are generally thought to be

the materials that are published and packaged as accompaniments to a textbook (e.g.,

workbook, reproducible supplementary materials, etc.) and included in the contract with the

publisher. (IDEA [674(e)(3)(C)] )

http://aim.cast.org/sites/aim.cast.org/files/ClosingtheGap1.pdf

AIM – The Process The AIM workflow process begins with state education agencies (SEAs) or

local education agencies (LEAs) issuing purchase orders or state adoption contracts that require publishers to submit a NIMAS fileset to the NIMAC as part of their textbook fulfillment order. In step two, publishers develop NIMAS filesets and send them to the NIMAC. A publisher may also offer accessible instructional materials for sale as a commercial product, in which case materials would be delivered directly to an SEA, LEA, or student. In step three, NIMAS filesets developed by the publishers are validated by the NIMAC and added to the NIMAC repository. In step four, an authorized user (AU) appointed by an SEA downloads the NIMAS fileset from the NIMAC or assigns it to an accessible media producer (AMP). The AU or AMP converts the NIMAS fileset into one or more student-ready specialized formats of accessible instructional materials. In step five, materials are delivered to SEAs or LEAs who, in turn, provide them to individual students.

INSTRUCTION

Learning Media Assessment Definition: the systematic observation and assessment of

sensory preferences, learning environments, intervention materials, and methods for instruction. offers a framework or decision-making process for the

selection of literacy media Examines the efficiency with which the child gathers

information from various sensory channels Print, Large Print, Braille, Auditory, Electronic

Assesses not just learning media but also learning style preferences It can address academic, conventional, and functional literacy

It can answer: How will the child accomplish learning

Accommodation vs. Modification

Accommodation is defined as a support or service that is

provided to help a student fully access the general education curriculum or subject matter. An accommodation does not change the content of what is being taught.

Modification is defined as a change to the general education

curriculum or other material being taught. The teaching strategies are modified so the material is presented differently and/or the expectations of what the student will master are changed.
