Legal Aspects of Captioning
Legal Aspects of Captioning
(ADA, 504, & IDEA)
(ADA, 504, & IDEA)
Schools must ensure that students with disabilities receive communication that is as effective as communication of others through the provision of appropriate auxiliary aids and services.
Content on websites needs to be accessible. "Anything that is being actively used in class or available to the student body at large must be equally accessible to one and all - this obviously includes tools such as lectures and associated slides. For audio visual components of websites, the captions must be available all the time, not just on request only. It also means that other school controlled content portals must be accessible as well.” - Charlotte Lanvers, Staff Attorney for the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund

CAPTIONING
CAPTIONING
Captioning across ALL MEDIA is extremely important. If/when other students provide presentations, they, too, should include captioning in their work as it will benefit a VARIETY of people, not just DHH students. Additionally, programs/apps that provide the ability to edit, as some do, is a POWERFUL tool that ensures 100% accuracy.

Captions/transcripts via Google (Chrome, Slides, Meet, & Docs)
Another alternative to captions in Google Slides, especially if audio is added, is to simply add notes in each slide of what is being spoken. Some teachers use Otter to assist with creating a transcript (600 min. free/month).

LIVE CAPTIONING
LIVE CAPTIONING
When all else fails, students and teachers can use Maestra.ai to LIVE caption in the classroom. Students can use it from their own computer, BUT the speaker needs to be near the student, using the classroom mic. Accuracy is diminished when there is background noise and the speaker speaks too fast, mumbles, and/or has an accent.

Top 10 tips for Teachers of Students with Hearing Loss
What is it like to be deaf?
DHH Students & reading, literacy, & phonics (including spelling):
For those students who are just beginning to learn the alphabet, read, and start spelling, it is important to make activities VISUAL. Alternative spelling activities – scrabble, crosswords/word searches, having a helper/assistant (one-on-one in a QUIET setting with NO background noise) say the word and requiring the student to write it down or search for it, reverse chaining by letter, reverse chaining by syllable, highlighting hard parts, stamping the words, chalkboard, whiteboard, alphabet blocks, trace in the air, dribble and spell, which is correct (write word down in different ways and have student find the correct one), unscramble, etc. All of this allows the student to see the letters/words visually. See the Sound, visual phonics, may also be beneficial for DHH students. DHH Students & reading, literacy, & phonics (including spelling):

Remember that primary students (and a few secondary students as well) have a Resource Handbook which should have already been provided for you via email at the beginning of the school year. Email the DHH Teacher/Consultant (aallen@phm.k12.in.us) for further information.
