So anyone here heard of the site High Scope? Helps teachers learn to be teachers. My college had me go on there to watch a few videos. These videos were free. The membership you get on there is free and there's hundreds of videos free on there that come with the membership. So I go watch the videos that were required? Problem is im autistic. i have an issue with auditory processing. None the videos have subtitles or a transcript for me to read. So I keep having to wind and rewind and rewatch different parts to understand stuff. I decided to let High Scope know about this problem because while I still was able to get part of my classwork done the problem is I don't want to have to keep rewinding and besides there might be HoH or Deaf teachers who'd want to use their resources and people with even worse auditory processing issues then mine so I figured I'd let them know. Want to know what they sent back?
"Thank you for your interest in HighScope! Thank you for reaching out and letting me know I will take that into consideration. We do have DVD’s that we sell on our websites that do contain subtitles/captions. You can find it at our store at www.highscope.org/store I hope this helps. Have a great day"
As much as I hope they fix the issue for disabled teachers and start adding captions to all their videos this seems like an issue that shouldn't be there in the first place. Teachers should know better, most are used to accomadating disabled students and providing things like subtitles and transcripts for kids with ADHD or autism or other learning issues. One the high schools I went to made it mandatory any videos a teacher shows in class has to have subtitles. Why not provide them for disabled teachers you are teaching as well? For them to know to provide them for videos that have to be paid for but not the free videos most everyone gets is wrong. I as a disabled student should not be denied the ability to have the same free education as everyone else that visits that site and am only able to watch videos with captions if I pay for it.
