MAT Program: Program Information

Contributed by Joseph Beckett, Program Coordinator for MAT

After an uncertain 2020 academic year, from which the Maryland Accessible Textbook program (MAT) experienced its lowest student count in nearly eight years, 2021 was a welcomed relief. At the start of the 2021 fall semester, there was a predicted increase in the number of print-disabled students receiving MAT services. This is exciting, and the MAT team appreciates Johns Hopkins, Morgan State University, University of Maryland, PGCC, BCCC, Stevenson, and CCBC for leading the charge. As we approach the second semester we look forward to serving even more colleges and their print-disabled students. 

To provide your college students a more level playing field, please consider using the free textbook accessibility services offered by the Maryland Accessible Textbook program.
