I don't know if this answers your question, but we have a huge selection of adapted books on our website. Though the PDFs themselves are probably not truly ADA (a lot of them are done by volunteers/students and just given to us, beggars cannot be choosy), we use writing with symbols, simplified language, abbreviated stories, etc. We also get some of them into PowerPoint (also done by volunteers/students as most of us don't have extra time)

I've asked for (and not really gotten an answer) making the PDFs more accessible and as an agency, we are trying to go that route with all that we do, but many here just don't 'get it', even when it comes to the web, I'm getting overruled a lot lately.
