Could a movie theater have a screen that has closed captioning that doesn't interfere with the big picture screen that the entire audience is looking at. The reason I wonder this is that it seems the deaf community has only in the last few years had positive contact with the hearing community. There are still many people who have had no contact or very little contact with persons of any disability. If the only contact they experience is part of the movie being covered up by closed captioning or open captioning that may give a negative contact and first impressions are hard to get rid of. So if they could see someone enjoying a movie without "ruining" their movie it might help the bridge between hearing and deaf. The impression people have of one disability does affect other types of disability as well. The goal of inclusion can only be achieved when people without disabilities are alowed to ses the value in those with disabilities.
