Description
This funding opportunity supports the development of Accessible Education Video Projects under the Educational Technology, Media, and Materials for Individuals with Disabilities Program. The initiative aims to improve educational outcomes for children and youth with disabilities by increasing the availability and quality of accessible educational media—specifically through captioning, audio description, and ASL interpretation of television programs, videos, and emerging technology-based materials appropriate for early learning through grade 12 settings. Projects must align with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and are expected to coordinate with other funded projects and the National Center for Accessible Education Videos to maximize the reach and effectiveness of accessible materials.
