Audio Access

Audio access provides students who are blind or visually impaired with an important way to access information through listening. Using audiobooks, audio players, and other auditory tools, students can independently access instructional materials, literature, and everyday information. Instruction focuses on developing skills for locating and navigating audio content, using listening strategies to support comprehension and retention, and integrating auditory tools into academic and daily routines. Strong audio access skills help students efficiently gather information, support literacy development, and participate more independently in school and everyday life.
