ABSTRACT
Anatomy students with disabilities or specific needs usually rely on help from other people to study when available materials are not accessible to them. This study presents models and requirements for the elaboration of accessible interactive technologies to the teaching and learning of Anatomy. The Contextual design was carried out in Anatomy classes, with the obtained contextual information being used in conjunction with the principles of the Universal Design for Learning as to elaborate the proposal of three technologies: the Anatome Learning Script (A-LS), a script containing the contents to be learned by the students; the Anatome Authoring Tool (A-AT), a system which allows custom elaboration of Anatomy contents; and the Anatome, created to support the study and training of those students using the A-LS. The universal design performance evaluation of the proposal was developed by Anatomy teacher and students as well as by IT specialists. The results suggest a promising path in the development of accessible educational technologies to improve the learning process of all students, regardless of disability or specific needs.
