Welcome to the Alternative Media Access Center
The Alternative Media Access Center (AMAC), an initiative of the University System of Georgia, is committed to removing barriers and providing access to knowledge for individuals with physical, sensory, and learning print-related disabilities.
AMAC is a partner of the University of Georgia and the UGA Regents' Center for Learning Disorders and works with private institutions, government and non-profit organizations, private industry, and other agencies serving individuals with disabilities. AMAC research initiatives and services incorporate digital media and adaptive technology solutions.
A World of Knowledge Video
In AMAC's new video A World of Knowledge, college students share their experiences about the importance of alternative media and assistive technology.
AccessText Network
On November 19, 2008 the Board of Regents' AMAC project signed an agreement with the Association of American Publishers (AAP) and invested in a national initiative called the AccessText Network. The network will facilitate and support the national delivery of alternative electronic textbooks to higher education institutions for students with documented disabilities. The AAP award has not only placed AMAC members at the table with the leading post-secondary publishers, but has also elevated them to national status. To learn more, visit the AccessText Network.
