Disability Solutions Through Technology
The Kentucky Instructional Materials Resource Center (KIMRC) is designed to assist schools in obtaining specialized materials for Kentucky students who are blind and visually impaired. The resource center also conducts an annual registration of students who are blind and visually impaired in Kentucky.
The primary function of the Kentucky Accessible Materials Database (KAMD) is to provide K-12 Kentucky public schools with a way to discover instructional materials available in digital format, and to provide a method for schools to acquire these digital materials for use by qualified students with disabilities while at the same time protecting the publishers’ intellectual property rights (i.e., copyright).
