The Kentucky Instructional Materials Resource Center (KIMRC) provides textbooks in braille and large print and other educational materials needed by students who are blind and visually impaired for use in local school programs. The resource center also conducts an annual registration of students who are blind and visually impaired in Kentucky .

Two programs are administered by KIMRC. The state textbook program for children with impaired vision who are attending public school (grades K-12) provides funding for textbooks. The federal quota program provides supplies, textbooks, and other material for students (preschool through less than college level) who are legally blind attending a public or private, nonprofit school. Blind infants are eligible from birth if enrolled in an early intervention program. All orders for materials must be sent to the KIMRC.

Material provided to students who are blind and visually impaired are the property of the KIMRC and should be returned when no longer needed. These materials are then assigned to another student when requested.
