In the second part of our podcast conversation with Sarah Empey, and Jacqui O'Leary from Community Matters Media, we delve deeper into the morals and ethics of diversifying communication styles including providing audio descriptions to support the understanding and interpretation of art for people with low vision and others who prefer this medium.
