TechAggregator.com is reporting that the company Benetech has received $100,000 from the U.S. Federal government to create open textbooks for persons with disabilities. From the post:

The math and science textbooks are freely distributable under a Creative Commons license. The textbooks, which have been approved for California high school students, will be converted to accessible formats by Benetech’s Bookshare (http://www.bookshare.org) library for people with print disabilities (disabilities like blindness, dyslexia and physical inability to hold books that prevent them from reading standard books.)
