AIM Initiatives

The AIM Center works with key stakeholders to support the implementation of NIMAS and effective uses of accessible instructional materials (AIM).

The NIMAS Center maintains and updates the National Instructional Materials Accessibility Standard (NIMAS), which guides the production of alternate versions of textbooks and related instructional materials.

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.
