Every child deserves an education that provides equal access, and creating an inclusive environment is a fundamental step towards that goal. - Open Captions: Making Movies Inclusive

Their wish to create a practice of inclusive communication that meets the needs of Deaf individuals and those faced with communication barriers while benefiting everyone became the driving force behind this inspirational endeavor.
