How will having books that use the DAISY Standard benefit a person who has a learning disability?

Books produced using the DAISY Standard offer people with learning disabilities a multi-sensory approach to reading. They can listen to a book while reviewing the print book if they wish to. These users can navigate through the audio and/or electronic text version of the book by moving among the headings, chapters, and pages. Depending upon how the book is produced, images with descriptions may be included, along with even more detailed navigation. Reading devices for these materials enable users to place bookmarks for later reference. Books may be accessed with a portable player or via computer. If text is included, some software allows users to have the text on the computer screen highlighted as it is read aloud.  more
