50 State Accessible Curriculum Policy Survey

Back to Summary Page

On March 19, 2003, we spoke with Carol Clark (Braillist) and Jackie Denk (Director) of the Kansas Instructional Resource Center.

• The Kansas Instructional Resource Center only serves the blind & visually impaired, K-12, entire state (transcription, large print, some tagged publisher files)

• Kansas has a Braille Law. However, there is no KS law extending instructional materials “beyond Braille.”
