Grants may be paid as advances, in installments, or as reimbursements.

Technical assistance also may be given, including short-term training in technical matters.

TEACHING MATERIALS FOR THE BLIND

Annual grants from the Federal Government enable the American Printing House for the Blind, a nonprofit institution in Louisville, Ky., to distribute educational aids for blind pupils in public schools and other public educational institutions throughout the country. The grant appropriation is administered by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.

The Printing House manufactures braille books and music, talking books, large-type texts, recorded educational tapes, and other apparatus. It supplies them to State departments of education for use by public schools in teaching blind children in both special and regular classes, and to resident public schools for the blind. A portion of the annual Federal grant is credited to each chief State school officer and each superintendent of a resident public school for the blind, with the apportionment based on the number of blind students registered in the schools and institutions. Shipments are then charged against the credited amounts. Matching of the Federal grant is not required.
