General Information

The DCMP works with educational media producers/distributors, captioning agencies, and description agencies by offering information concerning media accessibility issues. Some examples of these resources are captioning and description research, requirements of federal and state laws, history of description and captioning, learning benefits of accessible media, and guidelines for creating description and captioning.

The DCMP assists in the marketing of educational accessible media products and services by maintaining a database of educational accessible media available for purchase from producers and distributors. This information is then made available to potential purchasers. The DCMP also maintains lists of agencies performing description/captioning work, makes this information available to consumers seeking this service, and provides guidelines for performing the description and captioning of educational media.
