Great video and commentary - I have a question though. One lady mentioned no captioning at her dentist - what exactly is the idea or hope in that type of situation? How can a dentist caption himself while speaking?

[CCAC Captioning]

A real dilemma for many, adds to high anxiety of dental visits, all medical visits. There are solutions, if not immediately available. Like all captioning inclusion, it takes "awareness" firstly, then good pre-planning for communication access, e.g. when the dentist needs to explain, ask a question, how about using already available "remote captioners" and automatic systems, with captions (real time text) displayed above the chair. For us, this "challenging" situation is fine "real life" issue.

Happy you like it! The whole world was invited to submit videos for this, via CCAC membership, via facebook, via twitter, and more ways, many times.. If you did not see that, can only suggest you join or follow the CCAC someplace. And we are happy to say that all continents are represented, except South America, as far as we can tell. All the best!

Way to go... Just one small comment...I just wish you included some of us from Middle East in your video!
