Shape the Future of Accessible Streaming: Take the American Council of the Blind Audio Description Project (ADP) Survey!

Posted on July 10, 2026

We need your voice! The Audio Description Project (ADP) is launching a comprehensive survey to capture the real-world experiences of blind and low vision (BLV) consumers using popular streaming services.
 
Fill out the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/G3NPR5C
 

Why This Survey Matters

While streaming entertainment has expanded massively, navigating the platforms themselves is inconsistent and often remains a challenge. This survey is designed to gather data and to help streaming service providers understand exactly where blind and low vision users face barriers within the specific service user platform interface.
 
With the data collected, we will be able to:
  •  Provide detailed, platform-specific feedback to individual streaming services regarding usability and accessibility issues.
  •  Develop industry best practices.
  •  Positively influence the consumer experience and make these platforms easier and more intuitive for everyone.
 

What to Expect

The survey begins with basic demographic information, followed by identifying questions on which streaming services you use, and then specific questions on your overall user experience with each of those services.
 
  • Who should take the survey: anyone who watches audio described content on a streaming service. You do not have to be blind or low vision to take this survey.
  • How long will it take? If you only use a few streaming platforms, the survey will be relatively short. If you use a wide variety of services, it may take a bit longer.
  • Our Request: We strongly encourage you to provide data for every service you actively use. 
 
Having a robust pool of data for each individual platform gives us the data needed to support meaningful changes.

We know surveys can feel tedious and take time out of your day, but your input directly benefits the collective BLV community. We deeply appreciate your participation and do not take your time or effort for granted.
 

Questions or Issues?

If you run into any technical difficulties or have questions about the survey, please feel free to reach out directly to Renee Arrington-Johnson at renee@acbo.org.

Don't delay; the survey closes on Monday, August 31, 2026!
