Great job covering many impairments. The videos were set up in easy to read format. A helpful addition to the movie selection would be one on Alzheimer's disease, for this is a growing problem with law enforcement.

"We cannot afford to let the issue of disabilities be simply an afterthought. We have a unique opportunity now, as industry pours billions of dollars into upgrading the communications infrastructure, to make sure that people with disabilities are not left behind. Now is the time. Accessibility of services and products for all Americans has got to be a design feature, not an add-on."
