**Adding Bookshare to IEP's** In order for a student to receive free BookShare digital books, magazines, and newspapers, they need to have verification of a print disability. Print disability indicates that it is difficult or impossible to read a printed book. Certified professionals (special education teachers, neurologists, school psychologists, therapists, etc.) need to indicate that a student qualifies as print disabled. Information regarding wording for print disability needs to be on the IEP. Discussions about the where and what have been with DPI and Marty. Indication of print disability needs to be in the IEP (I-4, I-5, I-9.) Yes, all 3 places have been recommended.

**I-4** On the I-4 or the Present Level of Academic Performance you will need to indicate that a student is print impaired and explain why that is the case. Here are a few examples: 1) Student is considered to have a print disability due to his significant difference between his reading comprehension level versus his listening comprehension level (testing from his most recent evaluation found this reading comprehension to be at a standard score of 71 and his listening comprehension as at a standard score of 97. Standard Scores ranging from 90-110 are within the average range. Student does not have the same stamina as his same aged peers for reading. 2) Student is print disabled due to his physical impairment, Spinal Muscular Atrophy; he is unable to hold and turn pages of books. When reading materials are on the computer he is able to manipulate the keyboard or mouse to navigate pages. He also does an excellent job receiving information via auditory means, something he often needs to do during resting periods. 3) Student is print disabled due to diagnoses by Dr. Deborah Costakos of the following visual impairments: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), high astigmatism, and high myopia. ROP results in severe nearsightedness and abnormal eye movements. Astigmatism is an impairment that causes blurred vision and associated difficulty in viewing fine details at both near and far distances. Myopia (nearsightedness) causes blurred distance vision. Student’s distant visual acuities with correction (glasses) are as follows: Left eye = 20/80, Right eye = 20/450, Both eyes = 20/80. His near visual acuities with correction are as follows: Left eye = 20/200, Right eye = 20/60 **I-5** Indicate **Yes** on the I-5 (Special Factor Page) where it asks the following: Does the student need assistive technology services or devices? **Yes** No //{If yes, specify particular device(s) and service(s)}// Then indicate:

Due to print disability as described in the present level of academic achievement, student would benefit from the use of text-to-voice software options. See attached I-9 for additional supplementary aides and services.
