Audio Description Coalition


Audio Description Coalition members are trained audio describers, administrators, and users dedicated to the highest quality of audio description through training, mentoring, evaluation and professional development and are committed to upholding the Audio Description Coalition Standards for Audio Description and Code of Professional Conduct for Describers.

The Audio Description Coalition Standards and Code of Professional Conduct represents the combined training, experience, knowledge, and resources of this group of audio describers and trainers from across the United States.

The founders of the Audio Description Coalition first met at the Leadership Exchange in Arts and Disability (LEAD) Conference in Washington, DC, in August 2006, to begin to document what they believe to be the best practices or standards of audio description and to create a code of conduct for audio describers and trainers. Working from the Standards for Audio Description of the California Audio Describers Alliance, the founders of the Audio Description Coalition developed this expanded document between August 2006 and August 2007. The second edition was issued in August 2008, and the third edition was issued in June 2009.
