Some accessibility features, such as screenreaders and closed captioning, can also be helpful to students who are not experiencing loss of vision or hearing. So consider sharing these resources with the entire class as features that provide a variety of ways to access learning materials.

These same features are helpful for any student who may want to listen to an article read while driving to work or read the captions on a video, if the student is unable to turn up volume.
