Audio Description

This section of the Perkins Clearinghouse is scheduled for expansion in the near future, so please check back frequently to see what's new.

Audio Description (AD) is a voiceover narrative that makes visual experiences accessible to people who are blind or visually impaired.  AD can be used to enhance television, movies, media, museums, exhibitions, theater and live performances, educational programming, and meetings.  This section includes introductory information, guidelines, recreational uses, and additional resources.
