Voting Rights

Voting Rights Videos for People with Disabilities (from ATNETWORK@LISTSERV.SC.EDU May 19, 2016)

These new voting rights videos are from SC Protection and Advocacy [http://pandasc.org/] and The South Carolina DisAbility Voting Coalition.

Each video addresses a different voting topic to include how to register to vote, the different ways a person with a disability can vote, and accessibility challenges that may exist at polling places.

Publishing...

"…instructional materials should be accessible to postsecondary students with print disabilities on the open market at the same time and at the same cost as they are for other students …the mainstream and specialized markets have the potential of converging, with accessibility being included from the design phase of digital materials through to the final product."

- From the final report of the Advisory Commission on Accessible Instructional Materials in Postsecondary Education for Students with Disabilities, 2011 (http://www2.ed.gov/about/bdscomm/list/aim/publications.html)
