George H.W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) into law 34 years ago today, July 26, 1990. It literally changed our world, from cub cuts, and wide doors, to ramps and more. What is less reported is the secondary and ‘law of unintended positive consequences’ that come with inclusive design. More accessible for one is more accessible for all.
Meryl Evans has been championing the benefits of closed captions, and closed caption best practices for decades. Born ‘hearing free’ her experience with captioning is very personal, starting with the special home unit hooked up to the TV.
Doing captions well will increase the consumability of your content by orders of magnitude, for an audience far larger than the deaf or hard of hearing. Adding layers options ensures each viewer get’s the asset that matches their learning style, be that text, audio, video, or graphics.
