Penny,
A good place to check out is the Descriptive Video Service at  WGBH
in Boston -- part of their Media Access Group:
http://main.wgbh.org/wgbh/access/dvs/index.html

I've only recently looked into this myself, so I don't know a lot of
the details of actually using their service, but they're good folks.
Hope this helps.
