Abstract

This paper comprehensively analyzes the characteristics, elements, and types of barrier-free audio-visual communication in all media. The findings of this study show that the diversification of barrier-free audio-visual services provides people with disabilities a richer and more inclusive audio-visual experience. It identifies key elements such as audience, existing obstacles, and communication components while offering practical guidance for the production of accessible content tailored to individuals with hearing and visual impairments. Furthermore, the study demonstrates the broad applications and promising development prospects of barrier-free audio-visual communication across multiple fields, underscoring its importance in advancing inclusivity and safeguarding the basic cultural rights and interests of people with disabilities.
