are sources for electronic versions of the plays.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Yes Chaffee specifically excludes dramatic works. We always just processed them as we do any other materials but have found that a lot of the older ones are available in digital form. I would try project Gutenberg
first.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
I have a question about obtaining plays in alternative formats (specifically PDF) for a visually impaired student enrolled in an Acting class. My understanding is that plays are exempted under the Chafee Amendment from being converted into alternative formats.
So have any of you had to obtain alternative formats of plays for your students, and how did you go about doing this?<br>
<br>
Thanks so much,<br>
Kathy<o:p></o:p></p>
