IOS and Accessible Instructional Materials (AIM)
22
Definition: Free Instructional Material
23
Accessible instructional materials, or AIM, are materials that are designed or converted in a way that makes them usable across the widest range of student variability regardless of format (print, digital, graphical, audio, video). IDEA
(Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) specifically focuses on accessible formats of print instructional materials. In relation to IDEA, the term AIM refers to
print instructional materials that have been transformed into the specialized formats of braille, large print, audio, or digital text.
http://aim.cast.org/learn/accessiblemedia/allaboutaim
Legal Context of AIM What are Print
Instructional Materials?
What is Meant by the Term
“Related Printed Core Materials”
IDEA 2004 defines "print instructional materials" as printed “textbooks and related
printed core materials that are written and published primarily for use in elementary
school and secondary school instruction and are required by a state education agency or
local education agency for use by students in a classroom” (IDEA [674(e)(3)(C)]).
24
As stated above, these materials are “written and published primarily for use in elementary
and secondary school instruction and are required by a state education agency or local
education agency for use by students in a classroom.” They are generally thought to be
the materials that are published and packaged as accompaniments to a textbook (e.g.,
workbook, reproducible supplementary materials, etc.) and included in the contract with the
publisher. (IDEA [674(e)(3)(C)] )
http://aim.cast.org/sites/aim.cast.org/files/ClosingtheGap1.pdf
AIM – The Process The AIM workflow process begins with state education agencies (SEAs) or
local education agencies (LEAs) issuing purchase orders or state adoption contracts that require publishers to submit a NIMAS fileset to the NIMAC as part of their textbook fulfillment order. In step two, publishers develop NIMAS filesets and send them to the NIMAC. A publisher may also offer accessible instructional materials for sale as a commercial product, in which case materials would be delivered directly to an SEA, LEA, or student. In step three, NIMAS filesets developed by the publishers are validated by the NIMAC and added to the NIMAC repository. In step four, an authorized user (AU) appointed by an SEA downloads the NIMAS fileset from the NIMAC or assigns it to an accessible media producer (AMP). The AU or AMP converts the NIMAS fileset into one or more student-ready specialized formats of accessible instructional materials. In step five, materials are delivered to SEAs or LEAs who, in turn, provide them to individual students.

INSTRUCTION
Learning Media Assessment Definition: the systematic observation and assessment of

Accommodation vs. Modification
Accommodation is defined as a support or service that is
provided to help a student fully access the general education curriculum or subject matter. An accommodation does not change the content of what is being taught.
Modification is defined as a change to the general education
curriculum or other material being taught. The teaching strategies are modified so the material is presented differently and/or the expectations of what the student will master are changed.
