Reader Assistance can be provided for eligible OVRB clients who are in training. Reader assistance means literate, plain speaking individuals reading to the visually impaired printed material which is not available in an accessible format (Braille, large print, tape recording, computer disk, etc.). The average student will need approximately forty (40) hours of reader service per month; however, this may be inadequate in some cases and may be exceeded when justified. See the Post-secondary Education Services subsection of this manual regarding support services for special guidelines related to college and other post-secondary education cases.
Documentation for payment of reader assistance should be submitted monthly, should show the number of hours read per day by date and should be signed by both the reader and student/client. The hourly rate paid to readers is determined by the prevailing student employment rate at the institution the client is attending. Individual needs and differences, including the nature and content of the course work, should be considered in planning reader services.
