This week we celebrate amazing DSPs. DSPs have always done the work to help people with disabilities feel, and be, included in the community. 2020 has demonstrated how essential they are. Thank you for your commitment to Marylanders with disabilities! #DSPWeek2020

Auto-captioning can help develop quality #captions but are not effective as a stand-alone option, potentially causing confusion and misunderstandings for the #DeafStudent. To learn more about standards for #captioning: nationaldeafcenter.org/COVID…
ALT If auto-captions are available on a video, does it need to be re-captioned to quality standards? Auto-captioning software can help create captioned media, but it is not equitable access as a stand-alone option. In fact, poor quality, nontime-synced captions can cause more confusion and misunderstanding to the reader. Find standards for captioning from the FCC, DCMP, or WCAG: nationaldeafcenter.org/COVID19FAQs.
