Captioning, Education, Information and Training

The National Association of the Deaf (NAD), through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Education, administers the Described and Captioned Media Program (DCMP).  The mission is to provide all persons who are deaf or hard of hearing awareness of and equal access to communication and learning through the use of captioned educational media and supportive materials. The DCMP also acts as a captioning information and training center.



The DCMP provides a free-loan media program, as well as information and materials on the subject of captioning.
