Accessibility, assistive technology and information units: Links to the inclusive existence

Abstract

The objective of the study is to reflect on accessibility and Assistive Technology, highlighting pertinent legislative aspects and observing the need to sensitize professionals from the information units to seek technical-systemic training to meet the demands of an inclusive existence in a transversal way. This is a theoretical and exploratory study, as part of the experience of the authors in the disciplines studied in their graduate programs (Information Science and Education, University of Brasilia-UnB), seminars and reflections on the a reality that inclusive society and accessibility present to the Information Units, having in this scenario the possibilities of Assistive Technology. Public spaces are for all people, including individuals with disabilities who have the right to come and go.
