Accessing Entertainment

A combination of advocacy and new technologies make an evening out more enjoyable than ever—for everyone! In this special section, find out how great strides in captioning and descriptive narration have made new films accessible (be sure to read about the Motion Picture Access Project), and learn about many more interpreted plays for theater-goers.

Even relaxing at home can be relaxing! Your television can work for you in several ways to bring accessible programming, and subsequently, the Federal Communication Commission's revised regulations reflect a more inclusive industry.

Everyone needs time for fun and this exciting technology explosion we're experiencing has made plenty of progress in the entertainment fields. Some old favorites have new faces—books are now available in electronic formats, and your radio will send you endless programming. Attending a sporting event or musical concert involves much less hassle, thanks to implementation of the ADA in public accommodations.

Whatever you choose, you'll find a lot more options for it here. Enjoy!
