The American Foundation for the Blind reports that 21.5 million adults have vision loss and 94,000 children with a vision loss are being helped by some kind of special education. While description was developed for people who are blind or visually impaired, sighted children may also benefit from description’s concise, objective translation of media’s key visual components.
Specialized learners, such as students with learning differences, English language learners, and children on the autism spectrum, benefit from its value in literacy development (e.g., vocabulary and reading) and content learning. DCMP’s Listening Is Learning campaign focuses on these benefits. For those interested in a condensed version of these guidelines, a “Description Tip Sheet” is available from the DCMP Learning Center. General Accessibility Tool : Audio Described Media. General Accessibility Tool: Audio Described Media Definition: Audio Described Media Audio described media make accessible the visual images of theater, media, and museum exhibitions for people who are blind or have low vision. It is a free narration service that describes what the sighted person takes for granted—theatrical images that a person who has low vision formerly could only experience through the whispered asides from a sighted companion.
