===**Described & Captioned Media Program**- a vast media library of captioned materials. so the Deaf & hard of hearing can have equal access to videos and films presented in the classroom. There is no cost for registration and no user fees for a Level 1 or 2 membership. A Level 2 membership costs nothing and provides access to the FREE-LOAN media library. You can view thousands of items on the Internet or receive DVD copies through the U.S. mail.===

===After you join, the normal processing time of your application is 2 business days and you will receive an e-mail response with instructions for borrowing media. You may need to plan ahead a little to have DVD's mailed or trial the video streaming, but the benefit to the student(s) is priceless.===
