Large Print
Large-print materials have a type size that is easier to read for individuals with low vision. Typically, materials for adult readers are in a 10-12 pt. type font. Large print materials are generally considered to be materials that are 16 -18 pt. type and higher. Also, some font types are considered easier to read. Examples include Arial, Verdana, and Calibri. Large print can be in hard copy or electronic form.
In Kentucky, large print textbooks and other materials can be obtained from the American Printing House for the Blind https://www.aph.org/educational-resources/ through the Kentucky Instructional Materials Resource Center: https://kimrc.ksb.kyschools.us
