We serve people with visual and learning disabilities

What We Do

Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic® (RFB&D) works with leading publishers and technology innovators to bring accessible materials to individuals with visual and learning disabilities.

Available in every grade level and most subjects, RFB&D textbook and literature titles are used nationwide. In addition to the classics, RFB&D’s digital library provides current editions of state adopted texts ensuring students learn from the same versions as their classmates. Our textbooks, literature titles and other adult resource books are suitable for individuals, students and working professionals so that all can participate in lifelong learning.

Used as part of a multisensory learning system, RFB&D’s audiobooks allow educational equality for students who struggle with reading so they can learn along side their peers in class, at home or wherever they choose. No other provider offers the selection of accessible materials that have made RFB&D a trusted resource for more than 60 years. 

Volunteers Help Members

RFB&D currently has more than 5,400 active volunteers nationwide who help bring textbook and literature titles to life for our members. Subject matter experts describe charts and graphs in math, science and other textbooks in order for the listener to receive the complete book experience. Each year their dedication and hard work allow us to add thousands of new digital books to our library.
