“‘There are 2 kinds of people in the world: the disabled and the not-yet-disabled.’ The not-yet-disabled must abide & accompany loved ones & family members who have entered into disability as they wait to join those of us who are already there.” Rosemarie Garland-Thomson

GBH holds accessibility-related patents, has received Technical Emmys, FCC Chairman's awards & many other honors in this space. Our work makes a difference in the lives of millions. Public Media matters. Public media is a public service. Public media is for EVERYONE. gbh.orgbelongstoyou
GBH coordinated the the first-ever described music video, Stevie Wonder's "So What the Fuss," voiced by Busta Rhymes. GBH published the standard for creating meaningful image descriptions for educational publishing and online materials.
GBH patented the first technology to provide captioning & description in movie theaters. GBH developed the world's first DIY captioning application made available on the internet & updated it w/the FCC Accessibility Award -winning CADET (Caption & Description Editing Tool). youtu.be/k5YsKdGkpxs?...
Captioning for broadcast television began at GBH. Audio description for film and television began at GBH. The first captioned national news began at GBH. The first open-captioned children's series was GBH's Zoom. GBH provided the first real-time captioning of local news programs.
GBH continues its proud history of championing accessibility within our own organization, for PBS & other partners & for the local, national, and global clients served by the experts in our National Center for Accessible Media (NCAM) @gbhaccess.bsky.social
Disabled & chronically ill employees have champions across GBH & find community in the All Access Council, which values their perspectives & those of their allies. GBH's culture of inclusion & accessibility makes a difference in the lives of our members, viewers, community, Commonwealth and nation.
I know my work at @wgbh.org is important because I am fortunate enough to communicate w/viewers regularly who tell me so, especially those w/disabilities who rely on our innovations & excellence in delivering captioned, audio described, and accessible content, events, and experiences.

I had the SAME thought 😂
THE MOST IMPORTANT PART of my article on supporting autistic kids (and adults, as my son is now) during the holidays: "Remind others that even if your child doesn’t speak in typical fashion, or indeed at all, it’s still rude to talk about them like they’re not sitting right there, taking it in."
Since not everyone checks their email-- if you know of someone who had plan to join in-person, please let them know about this important change. Contact Accessibility@WGBH.org with any questions. We hope you'll join us for this important conversation.http://bit.ly/3XB0Zv7
