KEI's work on reading disabilities involves two separate projects. On a global level, KEI is working with the World Blind Union and others to advocate for a WIPO treaty for persons who are blind or have other reading disabilities. On a national level, KEI is a member of the United States Reading Rights Coalition, which is concerned about efforts to disable text-to-speech functions in ebook readers, KEI also provides technical assistance to governments and civil society on reading disabilities projects, including the analysis and amendment of national copyright laws.

In addition to the links below, quite a bit of important information will be found in other parts of our web page. In particular, there is a wealth of relevant information in our section on the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), including reports and statements from specific meetings of the WIPO Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights (SCCR) and General Assembly (GA). The KEI search engine is also a very powerful way to find content on our web page, including the many documents not linked to this page.
