Accessible Documentation

Ensure that all communications, both within the cast and crew and between production teams and individuals with disabilities, are clear, effective, and accessible.

Accessible communications may involve providing materials in multiple formats, such as large print, audio descriptions, or sign language interpretation. It ensures that everyone involved in the production, regardless of their abilities, can understand and participate fully in discussions, meetings, and instructions.
