Deaf viewers can now access the BBC
May 8, 2008
The BBC has really improved it’s coverage of, and attitudes to, DisAbility over the time that I’ve been blogging. This is something that I have thanked them for many times.
I have another big thanks for them today, because they have now added subtitles to all programmes on all of their main channels. This means that these channels are now 100% accessible to Deaf, deaf and hard of hearing viewers. (Thanks to this excellent article on BBC Ouch for explaining the difference between Deaf and deaf to me. I promise to make the distinction in all future posts about this DisAbility).
This is great progress in the fight to make the hearing world accessible to all those who can’t hear. Great news!
