BOOKS ON TAPE/CD

Some students experience difficulty reading due to visual problems or learning disabilities.  DSPS works with Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic (RFB&D) to provide textbooks on audio tape/CD at no charge to the students.

Procedure for using this service:

  1. Find out what textbooks you will be using in your classes.  Write down the exact title, author, and edition (or copyright date).  Identify required texts.
  2. Contact the DSPS Counselor/Advisor to discuss your needs and place your order.
  3. DSPS will order the tapes/CD’s from RFB&D, and will notify you when they arrive.
  4. If you would like to order unlimited books/CD’s for educational or recreational reading, you can purchase an individual membership for $75 for the first year, and $25/year thereafter.  Contact RFB&D at 1(800)221-4792.
  5. You will be required to return your tapes/CD’s at the end of the semester.  Failure to comply will result in a hold on your records and you will not be allowed to register.

HOT TIP:  Do not wait until classes start to order your books.  Sometimes there is a lengthy turnaround time to get your textbooks recorded (up to six weeks!)  Order your books the same time you register for classes. Use Priority Registration!
