Accessible Educational Materials Center

About 

The PaTTAN AEM Center is a service through the Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network (PaTTAN) that supports the overall provision of AEM in Pennsylvania. Previously called PaTTAN Braille and Large Print Production Services, it serves as a central location for material production and technical support. The PaTTAN AEM Center produces and acquires AEM for students with qualifying print disabilities.  

Pennsylvania students unable to use textbooks and educational materials in the traditional way may need accessible educational materials (AEM) to have meaningful and equal access to the general education curriculum. Such access is guaranteed in federal education statutes, such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the Pennsylvania Special Education Regulations: Chapter 14 for school districts and Chapter 711 for charter schools. 

The PaTTAN AEM Center produces: 

  • Braille  
  • Large Print 
  • Formatted PDF (digital version)  

Keep in mind that production times can vary depending on the time of year and the format requested. Please anticipate at least 6 weeks for production.
