I have a learning disability; how do I know if I qualify? If you are a K-12 student in the U.S. who has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) with a specific language learning disability and a need for text accommodations, your school should be able to confirm that you qualify and sign you up for Bookshare membership. People with a significant learning disability that affects reading should be able to obtain an equivalent proof of print disability through their school or a professional with expertise in learning disabilities.
