Abstract

Education and communication in the sense of inclusion currently a part of numerous discussions and research, however the proposed distance education and new information technologies as opportunities to access such education to visually impaired reaches a dichotomous overview and discussion of laws and the reality found in institutions higher education. The number of students in primary and secondary education in Fortaleza who have low vision or blindness is discrepant when this number is determined in higher education proving numerous barriers; these barriers we propose to map out and discuss. The methodology develops a qualitative analytical research where methods are developed for collecting bibliographic data and documents as well as through questionnaires in our field research. The sampling of students and teachers from HEI Fortaleza that enable the articulation of our results as DL can promote accessibility in transposing these difficulties and thus be more a tool of inclusion, a light for knowledge was selected.
