Vendor Informational Letter Vendor Exhibit Hall Registration Form Call for Papers Informational Letter Call for Papers Registration Form The Indiana Center for Accessible Materials (ICAM) is pleased to announce that the Indiana Center for Exceptional Learners' PATINS Project has entered into an additional year's agreement with Don Johnston, Inc. to provide a new version of the Read:OutLoud text reader. Many enhancements have been made to the software to make it easier to install, use and implement efficiently and effectively. This statewide, unlimited license, agreement is available through the ICAM at no cost to Indiana local educational agencies (LEAs)..  As the national accessible instructional materials repositories continue to grow through the collection of more and more textbooks and materials, so then does the accountability for LEAs to provide these materials to students in a timely manner - hence the need for you to adopt and implement the tool the state has purchased to make these materials to the widest range of students. Read:Outloud 6 text reader software will assist administrators, regular and special education teachers and families in providing access to a variety of digital alternate formats of standard print instructional materials. These statewide initiative is intended to assist LEAs as they strive to support the individual reading accommodations needed for students. The unlimited licensing of the software will enable your district the greatest amount of flexibility in providing reading related accommodations to your students at school and at home because the license includes "Take-Home" Rights for students - installation and use of the software at home. Adoption of this tool will ultimately expedite access to the general education curriculum for all students. Watch the ICAM web site for training opportunities and materials. For onsite training opportunities please contact your regional site coordinator who can speak with you regarding on-site training opportunities. Don Johnston is hosting free webinars during February and March on Read:OutLoud. These free webinars will be offered on February 3rd, 12th, 17th, 26th, and March 2nd.
