Description
Provide free loan of captioned media for the deaf and hard of hearing. Free-loan described and captioned educational media is available to students who are deaf, blind, hard of hearing, visually impaired, or deaf-blind. This educational media is made accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing via captioning and to the blind and visually impaired via description. With over 4,000 titles (and growing!) available for viewing, the DCMP is continuing to provide equal accessibility to these students and the professionals who serve them. The ultimate goal of the DCMP is for accessible media to be an integral tool in the teaching and learning process for all stakeholders in the educational community, including students, educators and other school personnel, parents, service providers, businesses, and agencies. The DCMP supports the U.S. Department of Education Strategic Plan for 2002�2007 by committing to the following objectives: Ensuring that all students who are blind, visually impaired, deaf, hard of hearing, or deaf-blind have the opportunity to achieve the standards of academic excellence. Advocating for equal access to educational media as well as the establishment and maintenance of quality standards for captioning and description by service providers. Providing a collection of free-loan described and captioned educational media. Furnishing a clearinghouse of information and research about accessible media. Acting as a gateway to Internet resources related to accessibility. Exploring and adapting new media and technologies that assist students in obtaining and using available information.
