TV & Movie Access

It is a pleasure to share our passion for using technology to enhance access to TV and Movies for everybody, regardless of the audience's sensory abilities. Technology helps us produce and deliver high-quality AD (audio descriptions) and CC (closed captions) for selected educational TV programs and films.

This work is funded under a grant from the U.S. Department of Education- Office of Special Education-OSEP, project "Enhanced Access to Video for Students with Sensory Disabilities through Emerging Technology," TV Access H327C210001.

Collaboration

We invite Selected producers of TV/Films to review the general criteria for participating in our project

EnhAccess:

  • Is your content suitable to be used in a K-12 classroom setting?
  • Are you exempt from FCC regulations regarding closed captions and audio description?
  • Is your content available now, or will it be widely available in the U.S.?
  • Do you want to reach new audiences?
  • Are you interested in making this world accessible?

Dissemination & Distribution

We partner with T.V./Film industry leaders, consumer organizations, educational service providers, researchers, and accessibility experts to ensure accessible content produced under EnhAccess reaches the beneficiaries.

Dissemination activities include training workshops, TV campaigns promoting accessible content, awareness activities to educate the TV/Film industry on the needs of people with sensory disabilities, and participation in conferences, podcasts, newsletters of organizations, and educational events on the field.

When approved by our content partner:

    • The accessible content will be available at the Described and Captioned Media Program (DCMP).
    • The accessibility assets will be available through the “All4Access” Clearinghouse.
