DCU’s Assistive Technology Service offers various types of alternate formats such as e books, journal articles, lecture notes etc. that have been converted to a format such as electronic text, Braille or audio depending on the access needs of the student

Who can avail of alternate formats?

• Students registered with the Disability and Learning Support Service (DLSS) who need alternate access to printed materials may receive their textbooks in an alternate format.
• Qualification for this service is decided separately for each student by the Disability Officer.
• Students must be able to prove a great visual or learning disability, as described in the HEA guidelines and be eligible for funding.
• In order to make sure books are ready, all the core textbook information must be given to the DLSS as early in the academic year as possible.
• Students are responsible for getting this information as soon as they register for a module.
• Creating alternate formats takes time so choose the books you require in order of their importance to your module
