People who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, blind, or visually impaired like to watch television as much as anyone else. It just wasn't all that useful for them...until WGBH invented TV captioning and video descriptions.

Public television was first to open these doors. WGBH is working to bring media access to all of television, as well as to the Web, movie theaters, and more.
