Arts For All

The first meeting of “Arts for All,” the committee which will advocate to area theaters to caption live shows, will be 1:00 PM on Wednesday, January 14, 2009 at The Hearing Speech & Deaf Center (2528 Burnet Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio 45219) in the 4th floor conference room.  Please RSVP to CDonnellon@HearingSpeechDeaf.com

A loop system and c-printing will be at the meeting.  If you need additional accommodations, please contact Carole Donnellon at CDonnellon@HearingSpeechDeaf.com.  The Hearing Speech & Deaf Center is happy to provide whatever you need to fully participate in the group. 

At this first meeting we will discuss the different forms of captioning for live events: personal captioning units, open captioning and back seat captioning.  We will also review what captioning has happened in Cincinnati as well as nationally.  The committee will decide how to proceed from here.  This is an excellent opportunity for us to ban together to make a difference in our community!
