Auditory Disabilities

Something to Think About...


The web is information. That information can be presented visually or audibly. It can be presented in graphics, video, audio, animation, or in text. Our most common experience with web content is what we view through the portal of our web browser, which generally consists of text and graphics, but the web increasingly consists of video and multimedia content. Take a look at the homepage of most popular news sites and you'll find numerous video clips.


The techniques for providing accessibility for users with disabilities are very straightforward - provide captions and transcripts for multimedia content (meaning video content that also has audio) and provide transcripts for audio-only content.
