The GDW site is designed to be able to be read aloud, navigated by keyboard only, allow increased or decreased text size, or changing of its colors for your accessibility needs.

Closed captioning (CC) provides a visual display of text that is synchronized with the video presentation and audio tracks. The term “Closed” indicates that the captions are not visible unless they are activated by the user.
