SUMMARY:

The present study addresses the relevance of audio description as an assistive technology that aims to transform visual elements into auditory or textual information, enabling access and comprehension for individuals with visual impairments. However, the specific applicability of audio description in an educational context still lacks further knowledge, particularly regarding the absence of specific guidelines for audio description of textbooks. The lack of established criteria hinders the use of audio description in academic settings, compromising equal access to content. Based on a Systematic Literature Review, this study proposes the definition of quality criteria for audio description and the development of a general method for its application in educational materials. These criteria will be grounded in the Universal Design for Learning (UDL), ensuring that audio description is effective in conveying visual information and promoting the inclusion of individuals with visual impairments. The article consists of two distinct parts: the first part reviews the procedures for creating audio description, while the second part focuses on developing a general method for audio description of educational materials.
