Dr. Sapp has led teams to produce thousands of hours of audio description for children’s educational television programming, multiple award-winning fully accessible educational games and apps, video podcasts for Deaf audiences, ASL production for television programming, and fully accessible videos on procuring accessible media for students. Through this work, Dr. Sapp conducts iterative testing to continually push the bounds of accessibility and improve accessibility experiences.
From 2020-22, Dr. Sapp served on the Federal Communications Commission’s Disability Advisory Committee. Dr. Sapp presents nationally and internationally on improving accessibility in all types of media.
