If you are involved with health education, safety on the job, safety and health training, or emergency services, our media can be valuable to you. Audiovisuals are effective communication tools that can be used to convey difficult concepts, to motivate, to demonstrate, and to reinforce good health and safety attitudes and habits. The Texas Department of State Health Services' Audiovisual Library consists of video (DVD, VHS), slide-tape, audio CD, and CD-ROM programs on health and safety education topics. These materials are available on a free loan (up to 10 days) basis to residents of the state of Texas. The collection includes such topics as: safety, food hygiene, infant and child care, breastfeeding, prenatal and postpartum care, AIDS, and aging.
In addition, the Early Childhood Intervention collection and the Rehabilitation Services collection contain print and audiovisual materials on topics such as child development, disabilities, intervention strategies, rehabilitation, assistive technology, and much more.
