Who Qualifies: Georgia residents who are visually impaired or otherwise print-disabled and need access to spoken local and national newspapers, magazines, books, and information qualify to use the Georgia Radio Reading Service. The service is intended for individuals who cannot effectively read standard printed material due to vision loss or other print disabilities.
Individuals who can read standard print without accommodation or whose reading difficulty is due solely to limited literacy, lack of education, or language barriers unrelated to a disability do not qualify. Non-Georgia residents are also excluded from this service.
Application Process: To use the service, Georgia residents apply through the National Federation of the Blind (NFB). Once eligibility is confirmed, users are issued a Personal Identification Number (PIN) that allows them to access the service using a touch-tone telephone.
