Is this course in closed caption?
Hello Sue —
It looks like the course does not have video. I registered for the course and went through the first couple of lessons and they’re all text.
If there is video later in the course, I would hope it is captioned (considering the audience). To be on the safe side, I would recommend contacting the New England ADA Center to find out. You’ll find them online at http://adaptiveenvironments.org/neada/site/home
