RFB&D members who listen to audiobooks either alone, or while following along in the printed book, report greater educational success and feel better about themselves because they can keep up with their peers. By registering for an RFB&D Learning Through Listening® (LTL®) Institutional Membership your school can have access to our extensive library of digitally recorded audiobook titles. Visit our home page to see the current number of titles in our continuously growing collection.

The LTL Institutional Membership program was created to meet the growing demand of schools and other institutions who benefit from our services, and who have asked for a convenient and flexible method of providing an onsite educational accommodation for their students with learning disabilities, visual impairments and other physical disabilities.
