Print disabilities, also known as perceptual disabilities, include three broad categories of people who require accessible formats. Individuals who have:
• a severe or total impairment of sight, hearing, or the inability to focus or move one’s eyes
• the inability to hold or manipulate a book
• an impairment relating to comprehension such as Dyslexia
