LOUISIANA
Interview Notes (April, 2003)
On April 23, 2003, we spoke with Mickey Pounders.
- “We were one of the first states to require publishers in our contracting
to provide materials in diskette or electronic form to be printed in Braille
or large print.”
- Louisiana has an Instructional Resource Center for the Visually Impaired.
They take the files from the publishers and produce Braille or large print
- Pounders was not sure that this is codified state law, but it is State Board
Policy which is effective law. It is in the DOE-Pubs contract.
- Re: alternative formats available in Louisiana, Pounders was only aware
of Braille and large print materials.
