Abstract

Accessibility in teaching materials is essential to ensure the inclusion of people with disabilities. In the context of women's health, making accessible content available in Libras can contribute to the dissemination of information and the promotion of autonomy. The objective is to develop accessibility in Libras in teaching materials on women's health. To this end, a survey of available digital teaching materials on the topic will be conducted, followed by a careful analysis of the presence of accessible resources for people with deafness. Based on this analysis, one of the materials will be selected for the implementation of accessibility in Libras, through the translation of the content into that language and the insertion of resources that facilitate its understanding. It is expected that this initiative will contribute to the expansion of access to information by the deaf community and serve as a reference for the development of new, more inclusive teaching materials.
