To order an alternative format copy of your textbook, Envision: Persuasive Writing in a Visual World, contact Longman Publishers. http://www.ablongman.com. You can request a custom audio version or make arrangements for a Braille version. Since Envision focuses on the principles of rhetoric and writing composition, you can use the alternative book version to learn about analysis, argument, research, writing, presentations, and multimedia – no matter what your course focus might be and even if your copy of the book does not include visuals. The book is flexible and adaptable for students of all learning abilities.
Note to Peer Learners without Disabilities
As you develop your visual literacy about the visual rhetoric in the world around you, begin to pay careful attention to the way our language privileges full-sighted people through expressions such as “blind alley,” or “see it my way”—consider demonstrating respect for your colleagues in class who may have disabilities by avoiding such metaphoric language.
