"…nothing in this section would relieve an SEA
(or LEA) of its responsibility to ensure that
children with disabilities who need instructional
materials in accessible formats, but who do not fall
within the category of children for whom the SEA
may receive assistance from NIMAC, receive
those instructional materials in a timely manner.
Timely access to appropriate and accessible
instructional materials is an inherent component of
public agencies' obligations under the Act to ensure
that FAPE is available for children with disabilities
and that they participate in the general education
curriculum as specified in their IEPs." (Section §300.172(b)(3))
