Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic: Serving People with Visual and Learning Disabilities

Also known as RFB&D, Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic primarily works with publishers and technology innovators to give people with visual and learning disabilities the tools and materials they need to further their education. Their textbooks are used nationwide, and the collection includes classic novels and current state-adopted textbooks to ensure that these people get the same opportunities of their peers and classmates.

Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic allows students the educational equality they deserve so that they can learn alongside students in class as opposed to being singled out. RFB&D provides the nation’s largest digital audiobook library that makes it easier for students and people with disabilities to be able to read and learn like everyone else.

Advocacy for the Learning and Visually Impaired

Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic has collaborated with the US Department of Education to promote the academic and personal success of individuals. They have been extremely successful with partnering with federal, state, and local governments to serve hundreds of thousands of students who need educational materials catered to their special needs. These partnerships are key to RFB&D’s success.
