The Described and Captioned Media Program (DCMP) is a federally funded initiative administered by the National Association of the Deaf (NAD) under a cooperative agreement with the US Department of Education. It operates a free streaming library of accessible educational media for students from early childhood through 12th grade who have hearing or vision loss, with no registration or service fees for qualifying users.
DCMP provides over 8,000 titles—including documentaries, science series, language arts programmes, and classic educational television—with closed captions, audio descriptions, and transcripts. Many titles include ASL interpretation. Content is available in English and Spanish. The platform also hosts a Learning Center with professional development resources and captioning best-practice guides for teachers of deaf and hard-of-hearing students. All content can be streamed directly through the DCMP portal at dcmp.org.
K–12 students who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind, or have low vision. Free membership is available to families with an eligible student and to credentialed educators and educational professionals in training. The DCMP is one of the largest free accessible media libraries available to schools in the United States.
