Receptive/Expressive Communication with            CART

"Live captioning, also known as computer assisted real-time (CART) communications is similar to the tele text captions you see on TV. It allows people who are deaf or hard of hearing to read {receptive} the captions to understand what is being said. If they are verbal, it also allows them to participate in the conversation {expressive}.”

"What does it mean for communication to be “effective”? Simply put, “effective communication” means that whatever is written or spoken must be as clear and understandable to people with disabilities as it is for people who do not have disabilities."
