The authors wish to thank the CPB/WGBH National Center for Accessible Media for the preliminary work (The Personal Captioning Project, OSEP grant #H180E30021) that led to the development of this handbook.

The authors also thank Universal Learning Technologies (ULT) for the development of the CaptionWorks software that was used in the project.

Finally, the authors heartily thank the researchers, students and teachers who participated in this project; without them, we would not have gained our understanding of the tremendous value of captioning projects in the science curriculum.
