The Captioned Media Program (CMP) is a FREE video lending program
funded by the U.S. Department of Education, and administered by the NAD
(National Association of the Deaf.). We provide videos, which are
"open-captioned," meaning they will display the English text
with any TV/VCR. No special decoder-device is necessary.
We provide captioned versions of a variety of videos, including
classic movies, videos about hearing loss, biographies, arts and crafts,
nutrition, educational topics, and much more!
These videos are available to all deaf or hard of hearing Americans,
their parents, families, teachers, counselors, interpreters or others
whose use of our collection would benefit a deaf or hard of hearing
person. Our captioned videos are delivered right to your door and may be
kept up to one week before being returned. We pay the postage both ways.
Our catalog has around 4,000 videos in it, touching a wide variety of
topics, and is useful for people of all ages and reading levels. We have
a variety of E-Z Order forms such as: Video Instruction Courses in Sign
Language, Sign Language Studies, Signed Videos for Young People,
Biographies in ASL, Deaf Culture and History in Sign, ASL by way of
Tagalog Language - language of the Philippines and Spanish Language
Videos. We have educational videos for all age groups, special-interest
videos, and classic movie videos, and much, much more!!
CMP can be a terrific resource program that can provide assistive
technology sources and much, much more! We provide free materials such
as our brochure, registration form, attractive flyers, etc. for
distribution to those who would benefit from our free open-captioned
video library.
