Synopsis
Program Description: The purpose of the Educational Technology, Media, and Materials for Individuals with Disabilities Program is designed to improve results for children with disabilities by (1) promoting the development, demonstration, and use of technology; (2) supporting educational activities designed to be of educational value in the classroom for students with disabilities; (3) providing support for captioning and video description that is appropriate for use in the classroom; and (4) providing accessible educational materials to students with disabilities in a timely manner.
In alignment with the requirements in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), this competition establishes a National Center on Accessible Education Videos. Specifically, section 674(c) requires, in part, that the Secretary of Education support video and audio description, open captioning, and closed captioning, which is appropriate for use in early learning and kindergarten through grade 12 (K-12) settings of (a) television programs, (b) videos, and (c) other materials, including programs and materials associated with new and emerging technologies. Additionally, this section requires support of distributing such materials through such mechanisms as a loan service.
ALN: 84.327N.
