My Dream Night Out - Captioned and Described

Follow 12 high school students from the New York Institute of Special Education (Bronx, NY) as they get ready for their "Dream Night Out." Students discuss their original narratives about celebrities they'd like to meet and what they would wear to the meeting. They discuss dress codes, fashion choices, and social etiquette with educators from Art Beyond Sight (ABS), a NYC nonprofit organization. Then they write a fashion statement and head off to Bloomingdale's NYC store in search of the perfect outfit. Their fashion statements and clothing choices are showcased at ABS's annual gala, where the students become runway models. (Produced/written by: Lou Giansante, Marie Clapot, Elisabeth Axel, and Clara Ines Roja-Sebesta)

In May 2011, the Texas Education of Blind and Visually Impaired Students Advisory Committee offered teachers, parents, and students with visual impairments across the United States and Canada an opportunity to submit a short video on the theme, "Social Skills: Putting the C in Cool." The contest provided a perfect opportunity to highlight a favorite lesson to teach social skills at home, school, or in the community.

For each winning video, you will find a short description, lesson plan, and the video lesson.

We are pleased to say the Described Caption Media Program (DCMP) partnered with the Texas Education of Blind and Visually Impaired Students Advisory Committee to provide captions and descriptions for each video.
