Discussion by Disabilities
A person who is hard of hearing may have difficulty understanding the audio in a multimedia presentation. The ability to pause, rewind, and repeat multimedia content makes it easier to go back and review content to make sure that everything has been heard and understood.
A person with a cognitive disability or language problem may have difficulty understanding multimedia content, and could benefit from the ability to pause, rewind, and repeat content.
