abstract: This chapter provides a literature review of research conducted on audio description (AD),
highlighting its use for language learning and development purposes among blind and visually
impaired (BVI) children, who can benefit from being regularly exposed to this professional practice.
Bearing in mind its didactic potential, the focus rests on how AD can support language acquisition
and contribute to extending BVI children’s vocabulary range, in particular, through the use of
echolalia. A number of recommendations are put forward to draft audio description scripts that
result in more enjoyable and accessible productions, by placing special emphasis on the language
register being used, the way in which sound effects are described, the role of songs in children’s
productions, the weaving of filmic language to describe scenes and the importance of voice delivery
among others.
