About the Service
Hodder Gibson Accessible Digital PDFs (Portable Document Format) from CALL Scotland:
CALL Scotland and Hodder Gibson are developing a service for providing print-disabled pupils in Scotland with accessible digital copies of books in PDF.
The PDFs have been supplied by Hodder and then adapted by CALL Scotland and David Imrie at Ashcraig School in Glasgow. They are suitable for pupils with visual impairment, physical disability or dyslexia. The books have hyperlinks for easy navigation, can be magnified on-screen and read out with text-to-speech software.
The books are available on CD, free of charge (subject to a print copy having been bought, and also subject to very strict copyright terms and conditions) from CALL Scotland. There are strict guidelines on their usage, and teachers need to sign up to the Terms and Conditions for each book before giving students access. Please note that that usage of Accessible Digital Copies outwith these terms and conditions may result in legal action against you and/or your educational establishment.
To request a book, send us a Request Form by post.
So far, 25 book titles are available.
