The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a piece of federal civil rights
legislation that prohibits discrimination and guarantees that people with disabilities have the same opportunities as everyone else. There are two sections of the ADA, section 504 and section 508. Section 504 - making accommodations for students with disabilities, such as giving students extra time on an exam, and providing a ramp for wheelchair access. Section 508 - all course materials must be accessible for all students.

You can upload a file, edit captioning that is already there, or listen and caption on the fly.
