May 13, 2008The first ever video podcast in
American Sign Language is being launched today on
the Disability Law Lowdown website at
ASL.DisabilityLawLowdown.com. The Disability Law
Lowdown ASL podcasts will bring a new level of
service to the Deaf community by expanding
traditional audio-only podcasts to include video
that allows subscribers too see native Deaf
speakers signing the show's content. The
podcasts will deliver the latest in disability
law information every other week via American
Sign Language, captioning, voice-over, and
transcripts to maximize accessibility. Free
subscriptions to the ASL podcasts are available
to have shows automatically delivered to MP3
players. The ASL podcasts are also available on
the Disability Law Lowdown website, where
transcripts of the shows are simultaneously
available. And for the fastest viewing, the ASL
podcasts are available on YouTube at www.youtube.com/disabilitylawlowdown.
The hosts for the ASL Disability Law Lowdown are
native Deaf signers Danny Warthling and AJ Roupp.
They will provide the latest information about
disability rights and obligations under the
Americans with Disabilities Act, and other
disability-related topics. Subscription is free
and RSS feeds are available to automatically
download the shows to video iPods, computers,
phones, and other video-capable devices.
Disability Law Lowdown is provided by the
Disability Business Technical Assistance Center
(DBTAC), a national network of ten ADA Centers
across the country, offering technical assistance
and training in the Americans with Disabilities
Act and other disability-related laws. DCRE Labs
developed the Disability Law Lowdown website and
brought together several new technologies as part
of the Disability Law Lowdown project.
To subscribe, look for the ASL Disability Law
Lowdown podcast on iTunes, or visit ASL.DisabilityLawLowdown.com.
