How are NIMAS file sets related to ACMs?
NIMAS file sets are related to ACMs in that they are digital files, typically student textbooks or related print materials, that can be converted into a variety of formats (i.e. large print, talking book, Braille, etc.) to assist students with disabilities and are managed solely through the NIMAC. Students wishing to use specialized formats created from NIMAS file sets must meet specific eligibility requirements set forth by IDEA 2004. ACMs encompass a wider range of materials, often times non-copyrighted or freely available on the Internet that are engaging and available to any student (regular or special education) to help them learn.
