About Audio Description Solutions

Audio Description Solutions is headed by William V. Patterson, who has 30 years experience in the field of arts accessibility for people with disabilities. He began working with the late Margaret and Cody Pfanstiehl two years after they developed the art and technique of audio description in 1981 and opened Audio Description Solutions in 2001.

Patterson is a founding member of the Audio Description Coalition, a national organization of audio describers, trainers, administrators and users dedicated to the highest quality of audio description through training, mentoring, evaluation and professional development. Audio Description Coalition members are committed to upholding the Audio Description Coalition Standards for Audio Description and Code of Professional Conduct for Describers.

Patterson's television, film and video description work began in 1988 with writing and narrating description soundtracks for PBS American Playhouse productions as part of the nationally broadcast pilot of WGBH's Descriptive Video Service (DVS®). His current film, video and multimedia projects include numerous assignments for the National Park Service, other government agencies, and national production companies.

Patterson's museum and exhibit description began in 1991 with the Ellis Island Immigration Museum. Significant current and past projects include the African Burial Ground National Monument (NY), the Mount Rainier National Park Henry M. Jackson Memorial Visitor Center at Paradise (WA), the Cultural Heritage Center of the Museum of the State Historical Society (SD), and the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center (CT).

Patterson trains audio describers and presents audio description workshops in communities across the United States, including workshops for the John F. Kennedy Center's international Leadership Exchange in Arts and Disabilities conference..

Audio Description Solutions' writers, editors, and narrators are professionally trained individuals from across the country who have extensive experience in audio description.
