Wayne, do you know if these tapes are distributed only to health 
agencies or are they being distributed for video rental?
 
I would think since they are on health related subjects that they 
would be closed-captioned.  I think the medical institutions are 
breaking the communication barriers by providing TDD accessibility 
and captioned videos, at least they are here in Oklahoma.  We have
a weekly show that is aired by the physicians in Lawton to discuss 
matters of health care in specific fields (there's a different
topic each week) and the show is closed-captioned.  It never ceases 
to amaze me that they can convince our local station to caption this 
show but we, the HI population, can't seem to convince them the local 
news needs to be captioned.  Guess we need to do some protesting 
and picketing.  Ah...where's my broomstick?  (grin)
