Teacher Testimonial Script:
DCMP is an invaluable tool in my classroom. Most people think of history as a boring subject, but I think of it as something living, and moving, and continuous, and using captioned media helps me convey that to my kids. A lot of times we’re studying the Civil War, World War I , and World War II, and they can’t relate to that. But once you give them that visual picture—that visual effect—then they get it, and it’s just invaluable.
If you are a teacher or a family member of a student who is blind, deaf, or deaf-blind, call the DCMP today at 1-800-237-6213 or visit our Web site at www.dcmp.org.
