Due to the lack of data in this field, qualitative methods were used. 19 teachers from 3 special schools took part in the project, of which 11 in-depth interviews with teachers from two special schools were analysed. Questions focused on previous experiences with audio description and possibilities for wider application of this technique in educational settings. The results show that teachers know what AD is and their experiences with this technique are positive. Nonetheless AD is not widely used in education, although teachers admit that it has huge potential in this sphere and recommend its use in numerous didactical contexts. Furthermore, teachers offer a range of activities that could be undertaken to popularise AD in educational settings. Their recommendations concern writing scripts, distribution and promotion of AD.}, doi = {10.4467/16891864PC.14.006.1713}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/przekladaniec/article/percepcja-audiodeskrypcji-wsrod-nauczycieli-szkol-specjalnych} }
