Bridge Welcomes 2021 with More Accessible Virtual Conferences

As we enter 2021, the Bridge Team looks forward to continued growth.

The U.S. Department of Education has extended our Tech Access grant, allowing us to continue providing curriculum-aligned audio description for hundreds of educational children’s television programs.

We also continue to make exciting inroads in the area of accessible gaming. Bridge hopes to have important news on that front in the next few months (but for now, we’re just dropping this teaser.)

We can say that our accessible virtual conference initiative is already in full swing this year. Selected upcoming events include:
