According to the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA), all instructional materials must be accessible for students with disabilities. This includes content you plan to order through the bookstore, or obtain by other means.
When choosing textbooks, faculty should ask the publisher sales representatives if they can provide the textbooks in convertible digital formats. This is important because we have many students who may require these alternatives due to disability related reasons. Our students rely on an accessible version of the textbook being readily available.
AES will work with the publishers and students to procure and convert textbooks into required formats, but if an accessible textbook is not readily available, the wait time for students can be prohibitive and severely impact their academics.
Below is a list of publishers known to provide convertible digital formats of their textbooks. If you do not see a publisher listed that should be, please email alttext@flemingcollege.ca
