Transforming Communication in Classrooms and Communities
"When sound is available but not understood, it is as if you are listening to a foreign language. With this closed caption I can follow the service and hear The Message. What a wonderful experience!"

Congregation Member, Rock Valley First Reformed Church
"The website can benefit many people, including those with ADHD or struggling with language. But for those with hearing loss, it empowers them. This fosters autonomy and independence, so you do not have to ask for help all the time."
