The Described and Captioned Media Program (DCMP), originally known as Captioned Films for the Deaf, Inc. in 1950,〔Gannon, Jack. 1981. ''Deaf Heritage–A Narrative History of Deaf America'', Silver Spring, MD: National Association of the Deaf, p. 266-270〕 and later known as Captioned Films and Videos and the Captioned Media Program, is a national nonprofit funded by the United States Department of Education under federal Public Law 85-905. It is currently administered by the National Association of the Deaf. The DCMP houses a national library of accessible educational media (e.g., DVDs, CD-ROMs, and streaming video) that is available to teachers and parents/guardians of K-12 students who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind, visually impaired, or deaf-blind. It also maintains a search gateway that allows users to selectively search across the DCMP clearinghouse of accessibility-related articles on deafness, blindness, accessibility, captioning, and description, including collaborator websites. == DCMP Mission and Vision Statement == The mission of the DCMP is to promote and provide equal access to communication and learning through described and captioned educational media. The ultimate goal of the DCMP is for accessible media to be an integral tool in the teaching and learning process for all stakeholders in the educational community, including students, educators and other school personnel, parents, service providers, businesses, and agencies. The DCMP supports the (U.S. Department of Education Strategic Plan for 2007–2012 ) by committing to the following goals: * Ensuring that all students who are blind, visually impaired, deaf, hard of hearing, or deaf-blind have the opportunity to achieve the standards of academic excellence. * Advocating for equal access to educational media as well as the establishment and maintenance of quality standards for captioning and description by service providers. * Providing a collection of free-loan described and captioned educational media. * Furnishing a clearinghouse of information and research about accessible media. * Acting as a gateway to Internet resources related to accessibility. * Exploring and adapting new media and technologies that assist students in obtaining and using available information. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Described and Captioned Media Program」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
