Somos TVs Semillitas and Dicapta, a full service media access company, announced their partnership to serve Hispanic children with disabilities. Through a grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Education, Dicapta will add captioning and video description to Semillitas educational programming allowing children with audio and visual limitations to have access to their unique content. Video description provides enhanced detail of a program’s visual content and is inserted during existing pauses in the show’s audio track. This enhancement makes television programming accessible to viewers who are visually impaired. It is very important for us and to our mission that that Semillitas content is available for all Latino children as well as to their parents. In the case of children with special needs, we think that our support in helping parents is particularly valuable in providing healthy entertainment and assisting in the preservation of our heritage and contribution to this nations diversity. We believe that Dicapta helps us in offering a better product for our clients and audience as well as in accomplishing our mission, so we are very happy with this alliance, said Luis Villanueva, president and CEO of Somos TV. “It is a pleasure to be working with such an amazing team. Im sure that this partnership will make a difference in children with disabilities from Hispanic origin, said María Victoria Díaz, president and CEO of Dicapta.
