Videos, generally a fun and effective teaching tool, can be a source of stress for students who are deaf or hard of hearing--especially when shown in classrooms in which a handful of deaf or hard of hearing students find themselves surrounded by students who hear. In fact, for deaf and hard of hearing students, video watching may be a source of anxiety and frustration, and it may increase these students' feelings of isolation. The reason for this is simple: Most educational videos are not accessible. In the worst case, a deaf student surrounded by hearing peers is expected to watch a video, read and process subpar captions, watch an interpreter, and answer questions on a paper about information to which they have limited access--daily. It does not have to be this way. Deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing students can all benefit from high-quality captions.
