If your child has a documented disability that limits or prevents
his or her ability to read standard print effectively, he or she is eligible to become a registered RFB&D member. This
includes children with visual impairments, learning disabilities or other physical disabilities. To find out how RFB&D
has helped others, visit www.rfbd.org and see success stories.
Students was learning disabilities who listen to recorded titles while following along with the
book show greater educational success and feel better about themselves because they can keep pace with their peers.
Registering your child as an individual member allows him or her access to RFB&D's extensive
library of digitally recorded audiobook titles. Even if your child's school has its own Learning Through Listening Institutional
Membership, an individual membership would enable your child to have the freedom to pursue independent or supplemental reading.
Your registered child would also have unlimited access to RFb&d's reference librarian service
and the option to request books not in our current collection. Having an individual membership means that your child can order
audio textbooks and have them shipped directly to your home. In addition, your child can continue to reap the benefits of
an individual membership throughout his or her entire educational and professional career.
We are a nonprofit organization, we charge a nominal fee to help defray the costs of producing our
unique service to as many eligible people as possible.
The cost of an individual membership is $35.00 a year, plus
an initial registration fee of $85.00. This makes the first time registration fee $120.00.
In order to play RFB&D audiobooks, you will need to use specifically
adapted CD players, software or four-track cassette players. RFB&D offers a complete line of players, software and
accessories for nonprofit sale.
