All About DCMP Response Cards

Each time you view media, we ask that you provide valuable feedback by completing a Media Response. These responses are required, as the information collected helps to justify the need for the DCMP and maintains government support (which keeps the DCMP a free service).

Accessible Television

Television has long been used as a learning tool, and DCMP helps make television programs accessible to students who are deaf or blind. The U.S. Department of Education provides funding for DCMP and other Television Access grantees to add audio description to broadcast educational and informational (E/I) content. Additionally, content partners provide for DCMP's distribution of content to educators of young people with disabilities.

Footsteps to Inspire Us: Women Who Are Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Blind and Low Vision, and Deaf-Blind

March is Women's History Month. As we celebrate all the women in American and world history whose influence has shaped our lives, we should not forget the influences of women who are deaf or hard of hearing, blind or low vision, and deaf-blind. At first you may not be able to think of any such women. Then you might remember Helen Keller who was both deaf and blind and an inspiration to millions. However, there are many other sensory-disabled women who have not only contributed to their own community but to the world at large.

Un padrino to Captioned Films for the Deaf: A Tribute to Gilbert L. Delgado

The first Hispanic superintendent of a state school for the deaf, Gil Delgado has been called un padrino—a godfather—to children and adults who are Hispanic or deaf or both. Spending all his work life in education of deaf children and adults, he was a mentor to many, and a national leader not only in education, but also in captioning and telecommunications.
