“…É necessário que toda informação de interesse público seja devidamente publicada à sociedade, por meio de canais estratégicos, numa linguagem clara e de simples entendimento, a fim de orientar o público e facilitar o acesso a essas tecnologias e serviços (Bersch, 2009). Segundo Corrêa et al (2021), uma barreira ao progresso da tecnologia assistiva, bem como ao acesso à reabilitação, à educação inclusiva e às políticas governamentais para pessoas com deficiência, é justamente a ausência de conhecimento na área.…”

Resumo A Tecnologia Assistiva é pouco disseminada no Brasil. Avanços têm ocorrido gradativamente por meio de conquistas na área jurídica e do fomento à pesquisa e desenvolvimento. A proposição de políticas nessa área pode contribuir para superar as desigualdades sociais de um significativo segmento da população que representa um mercado real e em expansão. No entanto, a baixa otimização desses recursos por seus usuários e a dificuldade em buscá-los no mercado e nos órgãos públicos são fatores preocupantes. Este estudo vem, portanto, abordar a repercussão da demanda por Tecnologia Assistiva nas políticas públicas brasileiras com o objetivo identificar a relação existente entre a otimização desses recursos e serviços e a formulação de políticas direcionadas no país. Por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, com característica exploratória e abordagem qualitativa, foi realizado um levantamento da legislação brasileira e ações existentes na área da Tecnologia Assistiva, bem como a análise de políticas públicas brasileiras com base nos critérios da avaliação normativa, aplicando-se o método dedutivo e a técnica de análise de conteúdo de Bardin. Verificou-se na literatura científica que, apesar do avanço gradativo da legislação e das iniciativas de fomento a projetos nessa área, fatores de entrave ao acesso, utilização e aproveitamento dos produtos assistivos, como a escassez na oferta de tecnologias inovadoras, acarretam dificuldades para a formatação de políticas eficazes e a configuração adequada às ações de fomento na área de Tecnologia Assistiva – essenciais ao processo de inclusão social.

“…It is necessary that all information of public interest be duly published to society, through strategic channels, in a clear language that is simple to understand, in order to guide the public and facilitate access to these technologies and services (Bersch, 2009). According to Corrêa et al (2021), a barrier to the progress of assistive technology, as well as access to rehabilitation, inclusive education and government policies for people with disabilities, is precisely the lack of knowledge in the area.…”

Assistive Technology is not widespread in Brazil. Advances have occurred gradually through achievements in the legal area and the promotion of research and development. The proposition of policies in this area can contribute to overcoming the social inequalities of a significant segment of the population that represents a real and expanding market. However, the low optimization of these resources by their users and the difficulty in finding them in the market and public agencies are worrying factors. This study addresses the impact of the demand for Assistive Technology on Brazilian public policies aiming to identify the relationship between the optimization of these resources and services and the formulation of targeted policies in the country. Through bibliographic, exploratory and qualitative research, a survey was conducted on the Brazilian legislation and the existing actions in the area of Assistive Technology, as well as an analysis of Brazilian public policies based on the normative evaluation criteria, applying the deductive method and the Bardin’s content analysis technique. The scientific literature shows that, despite the gradual advancement in legislation and initiatives to promote projects in this area, factors that hinder the access, use, and application of assistive products, such as the scarcity of innovative technologies, entail difficulties for the formatting of effective policies and the adequate configuration of fostering actions in the area of Assistive Technology, which is essential to the process of social inclusion.

“…The lithophane data format (LDF) is by no means limited to pictures in science. Lithophanes can be used in the inclusive design (36) of imagery throughout the fine arts, economics, humanities, business, government, health sciences, and law (37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45).…”

People who are blind do not have access to graphical data and imagery produced by science. This exclusion complicates learning and data sharing between sighted and blind persons. Because blind people use tactile senses to visualize data (and sighted people use eyesight), a single data format that can be easily visualized by both is needed. Here, we report that graphical data can be three-dimensionally printed into tactile graphics that glow with video-like resolution via the lithophane effect. Lithophane forms of gel electropherograms, micrographs, electronic and mass spectra, and textbook illustrations could be interpreted by touch or eyesight at ≥79% accuracy ( n = 360). The lithophane data format enables universal visualization of data by people regardless of their level of eyesight.
