I may be wrong, but it is my understanding that you can use the \caption{figure description without inserting the figure number} command to provide alt text.
You can use the caption package to customize your captions.
See the following link.

If nothing works, you can send the PDF across to me and I can verify the presence of alt text (I use a screen reader).
