#Close Captioned

John loves movies and will often use audio description at home too! The description has come a long way over the years and he even has favorite narrators. Description: John is at a movie theater holding snacks. He puts on a pair of headphones. In the theater he enjoys the movie with the headphones on. #audioDescription #movieTheater #accessibility #blind

This is one to save! 💌 This website shares all locations and timings for captioned/ subtitled screenings, meaning you don’t to miss out if you’re deaf/hoh. 🦻🏼 Everytime a new movie comes out I check out this website first! #deafgirl #deaflife #accessibility #deafawareness #hearingloss

showings with open captions are the ONLY showings i will go to as a deaf person because it’s true access. captioning devices often malfunction, they’re bulky, i have to arrive extra early to grab one, and it’s usually a frustrating experience even when it’s working perfectly since i have to constantly readjust them. with open captions i can watch the movie just like everyone else, and know im going to understand every word. 🤍 #deaf #hearingloss #movietheater #captions #martysupreme

Enjoying a movie with sight loss can still be just as fun. Audio description fills in the moments you can’t see, like facial expressions and background action, so you don’t miss the nonverbal parts of the story. Many movie theaters offer audio description devices, and most streaming services make it easy to turn this feature on in your settings. #Accessibility #DigitalAccessibility #AudioDescription #AssistiveTech

For generations, Deaf people were told to prioritize speech over sign. Deaf theatre challenges that by putting ASL and Deaf culture center stage. On the latest episode of The Story in Us, follow Desmond Sands, a Deaf theatre program director, preparing his first original showcase, which highlights the perspective of the Deaf community. @ntpadeaftheatre @ntpaofficial

If your content doesn’t include captions, you’re not just missing a feature — you’re leaving people out. Captions are essential for members of the Deaf and hard of hearing community, and they play a critical role in creating content that aligns with ADA standards and accessibility best practices. They also support people with different learning styles, non-native speakers, and anyone who benefits from reading along. Inclusion isn’t optional. It’s a responsibility. When we add captions, we make sure everyone has equal access to the message — because communication should never exclude the very people it’s meant to reach. #accessibility #inclusion #ada #deafcommunity #hardofhearing #captioning #subtitles #accessiblecontent #digitalinclusion #equality

Story time... ⤵️ When Violet was younger, we tried multiple times to go to the movie theater knowing one of us might have to leave early with her. Sometimes she couldn’t sit still. Sometimes she talked loudly. She asked to "go home" or she just got up and walked away. And there were many years we didn’t try at all. Over time though, something shifted and one day we made it through a whole movie. And when we talk about the "little wins that feel huge" for our kids with a disability - this was exactly that for us. Of course in the grand scheme of things, it isn't a big deal whether she sits through a movie or not. BUT, it felt like just one more thing our family couldn't do. And sometimes those things add up. But now she doesn't just tolerate it, she ENJOYS the experience... the posters, the popcorn smell (extra butter), being out in public, choosing her snacks. I’m not sharing this as a promise that one day your child will be able to sit through a movie (maybe you don't even care about that?!), but I'm sharing as a reminder of how valid it is to celebrate the small things that may feel silly to someone else. Because for us, this was a big deal. What's a "win" you've had recently that might feel small to someone else but huge to you? We want to celebrate with you in the comments 🎉 🫶 #autism #disability #neurodivergent #disabilitymom #autismmom
