Abstract
Disability Inclusion and Accessibility in technology has today emerged as a necessity of national importance. NSF funded projects like AccessCSforALL, Bootstrap, and CSforAll are making efforts to make computer science (CS) inclusive to the 7.4 million K-12 students with disabilities. Bringing people with disabilities into the tech workforce would not only create equal opportunities for all but would also better equip the society to serve its diverse population. Our proposed project focuses on making CS concepts accessible to K-12 students who are deaf or hard-of-hearing (D/HH).
