How well are you serving students with sensory disabilities?
Are you aware students with vision loss may legally request video description as a “reasonable accommodation”? The use of video media in classrooms increases dramatically every year. Captioning and description have now been shown to benefit students with cognitive disabilities and language challenges as well. State and federal law continues to expand legal mandates for media accessibility to accommodate the 17% of Americans who have disabilities which include more than 21 million with vision loss. Contact the accessibility experts at Audio Eyes LLC to learn how to serve students with sensory disabilities!

"Underwater Nights"
A sample of video description from New Dimension Media's "Underwater Nights."
The mysteries of ocean ecology are evident in the annual spawning of coral, the molting of lobsters, the feeding habits of sharks and the deadly attacks of squid. Live-action footage captures opalescent squid as they lay their eggs then die in vast numbers. These are the creatures that come out when twilight falls. Description courtesy of Audio Eyes.
