From Tammy Waldron:
I didn’t get to mention at last night’s meeting about the Talking Books Services that is available through the SC State Library. I have been utilizing this service for about seven years now. For qualified applicants, the library will send a machine free of charge that the student can use to listen to books on audio. The machine has a feature that allows the student to regulate the speed of the reader, which makes it nice if they are following along in a hard copy. I have been able to find many of the books that I included in my curriculum through this service. They have a large selection of books. For dyslexia, the parent needs to have a MD’s signature for the application. My MD was so nice and had no problem signing for us. I will post more on a service for college textbooks in another post. Here is a link to the FAQ about Talking Books Services and then you can download the application:
