VISION AUSTRALIA LIBRARY

Vision Austalia Library provides a free audiobook library service to any student with a print disability. A print disability can be due to:

a vision impairment
dyslexia
a visual processing disorder
another perceptual disability
an inability to hold print books

For students under 16, a parent/guardian needs to sign the consent form and I can chase up how eligible students can access these free resources. Printed copies of the membership form are available at the FCC library desk. There's also an online membership form: www.visionaustralia.org/services/library/join
