Alternative Media Access Center
Who We Support
AMAC was created with a commitment to support:
- Private and Public educational institutions that want to provide access to alternate formats of printed materials.
- Disability and Rehabilitation Service Professionals.
- Students eligible for accessible text accommodations based on a print-related disability, i.e., Blind, Low-Vision, Learning Disabled, Physical or Organic Dysfunction.
A World of Knowledge Video
In AMAC's video A World of Knowledge, college students share their experiences about the importance of alternative media and assistive technology.
How We Do It
AMAC’s large member base and reuse model make it possible to provide accessible media services for a fraction of the cost most institutions pay to produce accessible media in-house.
Standard AMAC membership includes:
- Staff with specialized skills -- accessible media production/braille/e-text/audio, technical support, assistive technology training, legal and compliance support.
- Access to software to produce, track, store and deliver media.
- Technical staff to maintain servers and backup files.
- Assistive technology software that provides students with accessible media files.
- Training and technical support staff to assist students.
- Tracking distribution of alternate media to maintain copyright compliance.
- Tracking DSS office activities, including student accommodations.
How Much It Costs
Our cost structure is based on the size of the institution and the services rendered. For a quote and additional information, please contact AMAC Member Services at 706-369-5830, email us at amactech@uga.edu, or complete the Information Request Form.
