The AccessText program (website: www.accesstext.org) is working to make alternative texts available to students with print related disabilities. Worth knowing about if you work with these types of students.

We're a U.S. Dept. of Education-funded nonprofit that provides a library of captioned and described (http://dcmp.org/description) educational videos for free-loan to teachers, parents, and others working with K-12 students with vision or hearing loss. Truth be told, we're kind of like Netflix (but have been around longer), except our collection ONLY includes educational material, we charge no fees of any kind (including postage), and you must meet the eligibility criteria (above) to sign up for a borrowing membership. Our material is available on DVD or, in most cases, can be streamed instantly from our website. If anyone has any questions about the DCMP, please e-mail us (info@dcmp.org), check us out on facebook (http://facebook.com/the.dcmp), or follow us on twitter (http://twitter.com/dcmp_tweets).
