Teacher Testimonial Script:
DCMP is an invaluable tool in my classroom. Most people think of history as a boring subject, but I think of it as something living, and moving, and continuous, and using captioned media helps me convey that to my kids. A lot of times we’re studying the Civil War, World War I , and World War II, and they can’t relate to that. But once you give them that visual picture—that visual effect—then they get it, and it’s just invaluable.
If you are a teacher or a family member of a student who is blind, deaf, or deaf-blind, call the DCMP today at 1-800-237-6213 or visit our Web site at www.dcmp.org.
Equal Access in the Classroom
DCMP has launched a brand new training tool called Equal Access in the Classroom that is available from the Equal Access section of DCMP.org. There, you can watch (and download) the entire Equal Access in the Classroom production and see clips demonstrating description and captioning.
Read Captions Across America
This PSA entitled "Captions Help Children Learn To Read" was produced and captioned by Aberdeen Captioning. Reading captions benefits almost everyone! During family TV time, turn on the captions and see the difference it makes in your child's reading and comprehension.
The next time you rent a DVD, turn on the subtitles in Spanish or French. You'll be amazed at what you can learn! Many people
associate captioning only with persons who are deaf or hard of hearing. It's true that these millions of Americans depend
on captions for news and entertainment, but the benefits of captioning extend far beyond.
