Testimonials

“For many students, RFB&D’s audiobooks are a ‘walk in the room and turn the lights on’ experience. I used to hate reading and now I love reading. I used to hate school and now I do my homework. RFB&D is one of the best kept secrets in America.”
-John Kelly, RFB&D President & CEO (2005)

Students

"Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic has been providing a very specific and incredibly important service: bridging the gap between blind students and the printed world that surrounds them."

Teachers

“These students will feel so special instead of so much frustration in their classroom lives. It has taken so long for dyslexic students to have their learning differences addressed. I feel like we are on the cutting edge of creating a new life for many of them. Dyslexia has been a “hush-hush” learning disability for too many years. Now they have some of the advantages they deserve.”
- Betzy Day, Certified Academic Language Therapist, Brady ISD, Abilene, Texas

“Reading is the cornerstone of our educational system. When children with visual impairments and reading disabilities struggle to read, it impacts their performance in all subject areas. I feel that this program will assist us in providing tools to help children with disabilities become successful learners.”
- Stefanie Taylor, Director of Special Programs, Sonora ISD, Sonora, Texas
