Bookshare

Attending the Bookshare Webinar with Cherie Miller opened up yet another resource to me that was otherwise unavailable. The ease of which educators, parents, and service providers can select adaptable texts is amazing. However, my concern is obtaining these texts for students with disabilities other than print-specific disabilities. I wonder if legal documents such as IEPs are doctored and tailored in order for students to receive particular benefits, and if in this situation, it would increase. If a student needs the resources of Bookshare, but cannot legally obtain them, then therein lies the potential for wording to be unfairly changed.
