"How Do College Disability Services Help Students?"

Accessible Learning for All | YouTube - August 25, 2025

Despite its long and carefully worded "About" section, this channel gives almost no information on who or what, exactly, produced these videos. My first suspicion is that it's someone using AI. It has that feel to it. If so, it's in a pretty good cause. It's nicely presented, too. And this video at least seems more or less accurate, as far as it goes. But the sheer number of these videos that have been dumped onto a channel that's only existed since late July makes it hard to judge whether the content is reliably accurate, or deep enough to be meaningful. Also, why are there several videos that appear to be on basic personal finances? Anyway, it's a big and ambitious enough project to justify a deeper look, and a good deal of caution.

Have a terrific weekend!
