I would say yes, as Bookshare has done similar projects with other kids.
I know one kid earned his Eagle Scout volunteering for Bookshare.

Reading a book is like rewriting it for yourself. You bring to a novel,
anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history
and you read it in your own terms. -Angela Carter, novelist and journalist
(1940-1992)

Hi I might have asked this question befor but I did not get an answer. I
have a teenage daughter who must complete 35 hours of community service
as a school requirement. She has expressed an interest in either scanning
or proofing books for bookshare to fulfill these requirements. Also, she
has a lot of juvenile books that might be appealing for other print
disabled youth her age. The community service organization must be a non
profit. Could it be possible for her to do this for bookshare because
it's something she has been desiring to do since she saw my frustration
surrounding specific author non availability in audio or at the lending
library. Please let me know.
