The Viscardi Center’s Digital Accessibility team specializes in a range of critical services, including website accessibility, document remediation, captioning/CART, and audio description. The partnership aims to advance both 3Play Media and The Viscardi Center’s reach by connecting new clients with essential services and solutions to meet evolving accessibility standards.

“The digital landscape is intertwined with our daily lives more than ever before,” said Michael Caprara, CIO at The Viscardi Center. “It’s imperative that employees, students, and customers with disabilities have equal access to the web and video content including alternative formats, such as audio description. We’re proud to join forces with 3Play Media in our effort to help organizations prioritize, plan, and build fully inclusive digital environments that elevate the experience for all users.”
