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.

The NIMAS Standards Board
The work of the proposed NIMAS Center will be shaped by the expertise of the NIMAS Standards Board, representing curriculum publishers, disability advocates, technology specialists, accessible media producers, and other invested stakeholders. The NIMAS Center will maintain a close collaborative working relationship with the OSEP-funded National Center on Accessible Instructional Materials (AIM).
Following initial appointments in the Fall of 2009, governance procedures and membership will be publicized on the National Center on AIM web site, and annual Board meetings will continue to remain open to the public.
