A inclusão da pessoa com deficiência visual no trabalho a partir da tecnologia assistiva

Abstract

This dissertation's central objective is to investigate how assistive technology can function as an instrument for the inclusion of people with visual impairments in the job market, ensuring a balanced work environment. The topic covers several subdivisions, and it is essential to identify the disabilities present, such as physical, auditory, visual, mental and multiple disabilities. Inclusion in the job market, especially for people with visual impairments, reveals significant challenges, even with legislation such as the Quota Policy. Therefore, the problem question was formulated: How can assistive technology be used to include people with visual impairments in the job market? The research focuses on investigating how assistive technology can promote the inclusion of people with visual impairments in the job market, ensuring a balanced environment. The specific objectives include analyzing the characterization of people with visual impairment, exploring obstacles and accessibility in the job market, addressing the issue of a balanced environment and examining the role of assistive technologies. The theoretical relevance of the research lies in the discussion of assistive technology and its application in the inclusion of people with visual impairments in the job market, in line with human dignity. From a practical point of view, the research contributes with alternatives for inclusion, combating inequalities. Therefore, the hypothetical-deductive method is used. The research addresses the lack of accessibility as a central factor for exclusion in the labor market. With a qualitative approach, the research uses bibliographic data and documentary analysis, and is divided into chapters that explore different aspects of the inclusion of people with visual impairments in the job market. In the end, the considerations highlight the importance of the study given the persistent challenges faced by this group, aiming for a more inclusive and equitable society.
