ABSTRACT
The main objective of this work is to perform a systematic mapping of the literature to know if the works that have been done and that are focused on the blind users make use of usability evaluation methods. For this we perform a review of different databases to obtain works focused on the topic. As a result, it is observed that the related work makes little use of usability evaluation methods, however, they make it clear why it is important to evaluate the projects taking into account users with visual disability.
