There are individual and institutional memberships:
100 ($65 application fee and $35 annual membership fee, up to 35 books each year)
Add-Ons are available. View website or contact Bill Pass for more information.
There are three groups of individuals that qualify for using RFB&D'S recorded books: individuals with learning disabilities (and all that come under that big umbrella), individuals with Blind/Visual Impairments, and individuals with Orthopedic Impairments.
Our audiobooks require a special playback machine or software program.
We have 104,000+ books in our master library and 31 studios across the country are reading additional books each day. The library contains most major textbooks used in our nation's schools, as well as the most popular novels and classics. We do not read reference books.
You may request that we read the book that you need. You would send us 2 copies of the books (to be returned if you wish); after headquarters approves, the studio will begin marking and reading the books, a process that takes about 3 months. Plan ahead in order to get your books on time.
To order books, set up your on-line account or call 1-800-221-4792.
Check on line to see if we have a book you need. Copy the shelf number to use when ordering. (www.rfbd.org, open catalog, search for book, give just enough information to locate the book).
This depends on the level of membership. (Refer to question 2 above)
Yes, look at the Johns Hopkins Study found on RFB&D's website.
RFB&D's services qualify for assistive technology monies. You may also use your Federal funding for Special Education as well as Title funding.
Your local Lions Club is a great source of assistance; contact the local president; he/she may be able to offer assistance. Try other civic organizations in your community; they often are very willing to help the schools. Look for special grants relating to technology or reading to fund the program.
