Resource for Working with Visual or Hearing Impaired Students

Linda Lamirande of ESC 16 in Amarillo, Texas told us about the Described and Captioned Media Program, or DCMP. The program calls itself “a unique educational accessible media resource serving the United States and its territories.”

They provide a collection of free-loan accessible media, guidelines for educational description and captioning, and a variety of other services designed to support and improve the academic achievement of students who are blind, visually impaired, deaf, hard of hearing, or deaf-blind.

Best of all, it’s FREE!
