In 2025, the NIMAC worked with True North Evaluation on a case study on timely delivery of NIMAS-sourced accessible formats (Case Study Report (PDF) and Case Study Report (Accessible Word)). Data collection focused primarily on three states–Ohio, Oregon, and Utah–while a few surveys and focus groups targeted a wider, national audience.
The case study sought to address two key questions:
- What are the positive benefits to timely delivery of newly created accessible instructional materials when NIMAS files for the materials are already in the NIMAC system?
- What practices, including procurement contracts, facilitate the timely delivery of accessible instructional materials?
This report has been submitted to OSEP, and the findings in this report will inform the NIMAC’s Technical Assistance efforts. Please feel free to share the report widely, and please reach out with any questions.
