AIM Initiatives

AIM Center
The AIM Center works with key stakeholders such as states, districts, and an OSEP-supported network of technical assistance and dissemination projects to support the implementation of NIMAS and effective uses of accessible instructional materials (AIM).

NIMAS Center
The NIMAS Center maintains and updates the National Instructional Materials Accessibility Standard (NIMAS), which guides the production of digital versions of textbooks and related instructional materials so they can be more easily converted to accessible formats, including Braille and text-to-speech.

AIM Consortium
The 15-state AIM Consortium explored ways to improve the quality, availability, and timely delivery of accessible instructional materials to K–12 students with print disabilities. Knowledge acquired and products developed have been incorporated within this new National Center on AIM web site.
