Abstract

The objective of this work is to analyze the ergonomic aspects used in redesigning a basic school textbook, aiming at the inclusion of children with visual impairments. For that purpose, the manner how new graphic artifacts of interaction and multisensory learning were absorbed by the user, through the prototype of a first grade mathematics textbook in Braille, was analyzed. In addition, this work aims to study the insertion and development of support materials for basic education for visually impaired students, not losing focus of the viability of the project in the context of Brazilian public schools.
