What is IRIS?

Founded in 1982, Indiana Reading and Information Services (IRIS) is an around-the-clock communications link for the print-impaired.

 

Who Uses IRIS?

Persons who cannot read normal print due to blindness, low vision, physical impairments, learning disorders or illiteracy keep in touch with local news and information as presented by IRIS volunteer readers.

 

IRIS Supporters

IRIS is supported in part by funding from annual memberships, as well as generous backing from the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust andthe Nicholas H. Noyes Memorial Foundation.

 

IRIS and Related Programs

Every day, IRIS broadcasts the regional newspapers and many other Indianapolis publications. Listeners are provided with special radio receivers FREE of charge to use as long as they are needed. One must live within 45 miles of Indianapolis to receive the broadcasts and there is an application requiring medical or social certification of print impairment.
