VIDBE-Q Volume 67 Issue 3
Conclusion
We often think the goal of captions and descriptions is to provide equal
access for individuals with disabilities. However, the accessible features embedded
in DCMP benefit all students and support the goal of universal design. Namely,
making media accessible increases the learning potential for all students. What is
more, the educational media and additional resources provided through DCMP can
save general education teachers, itinerant teachers, and parents time while
simultaneously exposing students to experiences they may not otherwise have had.
Funding Acknowledgment: The DCMP is funded by the U.S. Department of
Education and administered by the National Association of the Deaf.
