Acessibilidade digital e as pessoas com deficiência visual associadas à ADEVILON

The objective of this study was to verify the access to new technologies of visually impaired individuals , who are members of ADEVILON - The Association for the Visually Impaired of Londrina, as well as to emphasize the importance of making this access available to this group. A qualitative study was carried out using an interview with the President of the Association and a computing teacher. Data from the associates were collected through questionnaires. The analysis of the data collected showed that the Association has a good technological infrastructure and makes access to information available to its members. It was also possible to identify the main supports used to get information. Results from the study showed that the use of technologies is fundamental to visually impaired individuals; however, they need to be trained adequately to make better use of these resources.
