- The Captioned Films/Videos Program is a federally funded program
- sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education.
-
- It is a collection of "free loan" captioned films and videos for
- people with hearing loss. Films and videos are "open captioned"
- and you do not need a decoder or special equipment to see the
- captions.
-
- The program offers nearly 5,000 captioned movies, self-help
- videos and continuing education films and videos. They are
- absolutely FREE. You only have to pay the return postage for
- the 16mm films. The program pays ALL postage for mailing you the
- VHS videocassettes which come with prepaid postage labels.
-
- To qualify for this service, you must be hearing impaired or
- at least one member per family must have a hearing loss.
