"Ava software and services have brought Vanderbilt University’s live captioning accommodations into the modern era.

Bill Burgess: "Ava software and services have brought Vanderbilt University’s live captioning accommodations into the modern era. We love their flexibility in scheduling and ability to provide different levels of service, depending on needs. They’ve handled complex neuroscience terminology, and our students rely on their expertise. We believe that our friends at Ava are working to become the best captioning solution available."

Vanderbilt University is committed to accommodating all of their students in their needs for accessibility and inclusion. Their student access services support equal access to education including invisible disabilities.
