Abstract

Over the years, the debate on accessibility and digital inclusion has brought together representatives of government, civil society and educational institutions. However, it is still common for people with special needs to encounter barriers to interaction and access to information. This work describes the development of a tool, within the context of Assistive Technology, that adapts website interface components according to users’ special needs. Therefore, the difficulties of interaction of people with special needs were raised, focusing on the elderly, people with low vision and with motor problems in the upper limbs, the necessary improvements to the website interface components were determined and evaluations were made before and after the solution development. As a result, the work introduces In Clue, a Chrome browser extension that automatically adapts websites after user adjustments to interface components. Through the evaluation, we noted In Clue's potential to provide features that enhance interaction on websites, helping people with special needs.
