The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law enacted in 1990 that prohibits discrimination against disabled individuals in the areas of employment, public services, public accommodations, and telecommunications. The Board of Collier County Commissioners is committed to serving the needs of all of its citizens and visitors, and our goal is to ensure access to information for a diverse audience. Closed captioning offers a transcript for the audio track of a video presentation that is matched with the video and audio tracks. Captions are commonly visually presented over the video, which benefits individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing and anyone who cannot hear the audio because of loud environments. This service is an essential component to reach all Collier County residents.
