A respectful place to start.
Begin with Deaf culture and communication, then follow authentic video-led courses. We don't generate imitation signs or claim that reading a transcript teaches signing.

IN CANADA · A NOTE ABOUT LANGUAGE
ASL and LSQ are different languages.
American Sign Language (ASL) and Langue des signes québécoise (LSQ) are distinct, complete sign languages—not signed versions of English or French. For Québec families, LSQ may be the relevant community language.

Is ASL simply English acted out with hands?
03 / BRAILLE DISCOVERY STUDIO
Six dots. So much meaning.
Explore the basic uncontracted English Braille alphabet. This visual and text-based simulator is an introduction—not a replacement for tactile Braille materials or specialist instruction.

The letter A uses raised dot 1.
How a Braille cell works
A standard six-dot Braille cell has two columns and three rows. Dots 1–3 run down the left, and dots 4–6 run down the right. Different raised-dot patterns form letters and other symbols.

Read slowly.
Maya plants a small seed. Each morning, she checks the soil and gives it water when it needs some. After several days, a green shoot appears.
05 / USE THE WEB YOUR WAY
A little more control.
Make reading comfortable
Use the Learning Tools button anywhere on DUBÉ to try larger text, contrast, reading spacing or fewer animations. Your device's zoom and screen reader remain available.
Accessible video and media
Captions and transcripts will accompany original episodes as they become available. Future sign-language interpretation requires actual qualified signed-language recordings; it is not an automatic feature today.

Designed with care.
Improved with learners.
These features support different learning preferences, but they do not establish full WCAG compliance or compatibility with every assistive technology. Testing with disabled learners, Deaf educators and accessibility specialists is essential before making broader accessibility claims.
We're building toward accessible, respectful educational resources for a wide range of learners.
