Large Print / Braille

For Pennsylvania students who are blind or visually impaired, the PaTTAN AIM Center provides large print and braille educational text materials. As necessary, the AIM Center either procures the text materials from existing sources or produces them at its facilities in Harrisburg. In addition, high quality educational text materials in braille format are available to agencies outside of Pennsylvania for purchase.

PaTTAN also represents the Department of Education as the Ex-Officio Trustee with the responsibility of managing and coordinating federal quota funds with the American Printing House for the Blind (APH) for the purchase of text and educational supplies for students who are legally blind. PaTTAN also maintains an annual census of children from birth through twenty-one who are legally blind and provides an annual report of eligible students to APH.
