Design inclusivo: O livro como suporte para inclusão de PcDV

Abstract

Considering the scenario of children’s literacy, people with visual impairments face numerous obstacles during their education, since finding diverse readings adapted to accessibility standards is still scarce in the publishing market. Accessible books that have Braille, relief illustrations, contrasting colors and textures, are tools that allow blind children and those with low vision to fully experience the literary world, helping not only with learning but also with the development of autonomy and capacity to interpret the world around you. Therefore, the project “Inclusive Design: The book as support for the inclusion of PwVI” aims to propose an aesthetic, inclusive and functional concept in the creation of a children’s book that integrates both visual and tactile elements, analyzing the relationship between editorial design and children’s literacy, in order to develop teaching material that can serve as an inclusion tool. This work presents the development of an accessible children’s book, based on the adaptation of the work “Little Yellow Hat” by Chico Buarque. This type of material is considered an extremely important social and pedagogical product, as it contributes to the formation of fundamental concepts during childhood and plays a crucial role in children’s cognitive development. As a result, a physical prototype of the book was created, considering all the guidelines and requirements established during the development of the project, reinforcing the need for more initiatives that promote the creation of inclusive materials.
