O PAPEL DAS TECNOLOGIAS ASSISTIVAS NA INCLUSÃO DE ESTUDANTES COM BAIXA VISÃO: UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA

Abstract

Throughout history, school inclusion has been guided by different paradigms, associated with different conceptions of subject, learning and development. Currently, it has become a central issue in our society, however, it is known that there are still barriers that make it difficult to participate in society in an equal, full and effective way. In conditions such as low vision, included in the diagnosis of visual impairment, this becomes even more evident, with successful inclusion practices, when existing, often developed almost exclusively in the context of Specialized Educational Care. With the present study, the objective was to investigate, based on a review of the national literature, assistive technology resources that have been used for the inclusion of students diagnosed with low vision, systematizing contributions that reach the educational context and even go beyond the walls of the school, contributing to the active and interactive participation of people with low vision in life in society. The results indicate potentialities and challenges regarding the use of assistive technologies in the schooling process for people with low vision, as well as the need for continued research on the topic.
