About Audio Description International

The mission of the Audio Description International website is to promote and support Audio Description services in various settings through shared information, referral, and education.

This website is one of only two active components of the organization formerly known as "Audio Description International," which last met at a conference in Washington DC in March 2002 (view the Proceedings). At the present time, the organization itself is dormant, its board disbanded; but this website will be updated periodically as a reference source for all who are interested.

The other active component is a Yahoo Group forum in which anyone is welcome to participate (see the Contact Us page link above for access information).
