Described and Captioned Media Program (DCMP) for DHH Professionals
Recorded Webinar
Description:
Research shows that multimedia benefits all students. However, finding educational media with high-quality captions is not always easy, and very few resources include ASL. The Described and Captioned Media Program (DCMP) is a federally funded program that provides free, accessible educational videos and much more. This presentation introduces the wide range of resources DCMP offers to support students, teachers, and interpreters.
Session Goals:
1. Explain why captions and ASL are essential for providing students who are deaf or hard of hearing (D/HH) with access to video content.
2. Identify features of high-quality captions and ASL interpretation in educational videos.
3. Describe at least three strategies for using accessible videos to support language acquisition among students who are D/HH.
