If you are unsure of accommodations, or you receive one for hearing impaired, fortunately the university has a service that we can request Live Captioning.  It is through the UConn Communication Access and Interpreting Services (UCIS).  They have a no cost Communication Access Realtime Transcription (CART) service that we can request for Live Captioning.  Basically, they hire someone to view the event remotely and provide a URL to the live captioning feed.  Also, please note that any video presentations shown during an event need to have captioning in it.  UCIS will also ask for presenter names, program schedule, order of presenters, etc.
