Why aren’t disability awareness DVDs often subtitled?
June 8th, 2009
Why don’t disability awareness DVDs have subtitles? What’s that about? I’ve just received one in the post – it’s pretty awful all round but that’s not the point here (but still a point worth discussing elsewhere). The point is how can any disability trainer hope to demonstrate inclusion when they don’t even subtitle their own training material? I know from experience that the team making the DVD are not necessarily au fait with the issues involved (yes, I know they should be, but so often are not) which is why we often end up with a crap unsubtitled product that we can’t ever use.
