Accessible Books
SET-BC creates accessible books for BC students with perceptual disabilities. These alternate formats are then submitted to ARC-BC where they are freely downloadable by BC educators who are working with students with perceptual disabilities.

-Accessible books are children's picture books in alternate formats.
-Books are scanned and images added using accessible software such as Clicker 6 or iOS apps such as Pictello.
-Text is recorded using digitized (human) or synthesized (computer) speech.
-The graphics, text and narration are then available for reading on computers or tablets.
-The student reads the accessible book using the accessible software or iOS app that created it.

SET-BC creates accessible versions of print books based on the following criteria:

-Comprehension of the book's text is enhanced through pictures and/or images.
-The book is a piece of recommended children's literature.
-The book text is at an early reading level.
-The book content is locally relevant.
-The book will support one or more SET-BC classroom-based technology solutions.
