WGBH media access services
WGBH has been pioneering and delivering accessible media to disabled adults, students, and their families, teachers, and friends for more than 30 years.
Thirty-six million Americans who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, blind, or visually impaired rely on media access services provided by WGBH.
We invented captioning and video descriptions for television, and today we also apply those services to movies, the Web, museums, theme parks, and more. And our Carl and Ruth Shapiro National Center for Accessible Media (NCAM) is hard at work on new media access breakthroughs that build on WGBH’s proud history.
