not as a luxury, but as a norm

quality instruction means captioned video.

are adjustable and accessible.

>> Cynthia: I'm totally blind
which means that

I need to access visual content
in another way.

For me a quality education means
that when my instructor or classmates

use software or hardware that it's
accessible with a screen reader.

>> Screen reader: Part 4 Error Correction
Capitalization and punctuation

Add correct capital.

Print, edit, print, edit.

>> Blake speaking with a synthesizer: I have
cerebral palsy

which means I cannot
take notes very quickly.

For me quality education includes

access to instructors’ presentations,
notes, or outlines.

>> Dustine: Quality education includes
the ability to understand

and meet the needs of each student.
