Why are captions so important?

Captions are important for everyone to have access to, regardless of whether you are deaf, have no mobility, etc. Captions provide a wide range of deeper knowledge, rather than just listening to the video. People who struggling with just listening can use captions as a way to help them learn.

Accessibility

On your phone, rather than if you are visually impaired, deaf, or have a hard time typing. There is accessibility for almost every disability. On any device, there is accessibility.

Examples-

A louder voice for deaf people

Bigger and bolder words for the visually-impaired

Siri/AI/Google or voiceover when no mobility with the body.
Spoken content and motion detection for the blind

Note-Taking

Notetaking is a great tool for those who can write but have other disabilities. This can be helpful for friends who suffer from head injuries to help them remember important learning facts.

Flashcards!

Flashcards are great for friends who suffer from speech impendent. This can help friends look at words when not with a teacher and practice saying words.

Productivity and planning

Having a visual schedule for friends who have mental disabilities is a great opportunity to help guide them through their day. This allows them to stay on schedule and know what is coming next without surprises.

Core Board

Core boards are a great tool for those who struggling with their emotions. A core board allows them to communicate with the teacher while feeling a certain way. The only thing that the student needs to do is point to what they are trying to communicate.

Whiteboards

Whiteboards are great because you can control the accessibility of one. You can have it talk to you, and require captions on videos when playing.

Example: you change the blue light on it in case you have a friend who suffers from a neurological issue.

Friends can also practice writing in a different way, which helps with fine motor skills.

Podcasting

Podcasting is a great resource to have for many reasons. First, you can record yourself teaching a lesson, and if a student misses a day, they can listen to the video.

Podcasting can also help visually impaired friends.

Parent-Involvement

Advocating for your child's education always comes first as a parent. As a teacher, it is your job to understand the parents and what they want for their child. Engaging with parents can make them feel seen and heard. For example, IEP meetings are scary for parents a lot of the time, sometimes this is new for them, and they have a hard time accepting their child's disability. Engaging with the parents is very important because it can relieve tension in the home life.

Virtual schools

Online learning is great in multiple ways. This can be college students with a full-time job, very sick students in the hospital, and unforeseen injuries to students that require them to stay at home. Online learning is a great tool for students to work on their own pace but know their is a deadline.
