access the materials, the instructor and school need to answer the following
questions:

it about the product that is not accessible? What additional equipment
services, resources are needed to make it accessible?
- Is another
product accessible?
- What other
mode of instructional delivery may be used to provide the student with
the disability the equivalent access to the curricular content in order
to complete the instructional assignments and to learn and incorporate
the information into the student's body of knowledge.
