No, not your mistake, the PDF should be tagged.

Sorry I did not send out the higher level link. The doc is available both
in Word and PDF at this location:
http://www.altformat.org/mytextbook/index.asp?page=8 If folks want to
throw stones, throw them at me since it was my mistake.

I am so sorry that the version on the Dolphin website is not accessible and
will see if I am allowed to release a version in MSWord as it seems ironic
that this should be the case!



There is also a Japanese project where they used iPads and Touch and Read
software. http://www.booksonline.iospress.nl/Content/View.aspx?piid=20953




Thanks to the Dolphin Consortium initial pilot project there are several
more initiatives now occurring in the field of altformat in UK such as
Load2Learn http://training.dyslexiaaction.org.uk/load2learn/trainingpilot
and MyDocStore http://www.mydocstore.org.uk/ which will also be evaluated.



Books for All http://www.books4all.org.uk/Home/ has a series of reports
available. http://www.adapteddigitalexams.org.uk/Downloads/Reports/



Best wishes E.A.

Good morning, those of you involved in AIM production and use may find the
following research from a project in the UK very informative. While middle
school in focus, I think the findings can be extrapolated to other similar
populations as well.
