After the creation of this methodological proposal, were made validations of the Accessible LO with blind subjects and with visual impairment. Throughout the text we present the development stages of the Accessible LO as well as the final considerations of the work.

The thesis is composed of three chapters that make up the theoretical framework of the research problem, and provide a better understanding of the phenomenon approached here. Chapter 1 presents the question of accessibility, addressing the accessible processes of products, architecture and communication, identifying obstacles up to the present, even with the implementation of public policies to support the removal of these obstacles. We also present alternative communications that help individuals to regain peer interaction. Chapter 2 presents teaching practices in developing lesson plans and teaching materials. The purpose of this chapter is to explain what lesson plans are, how they are developed and which resources could be used. Working and sharing the differences in class are challenges faced in everyday life, and some of these challenges, faced by the teachers, can be observed when preparing the class. In order to optimize the process of creating a lesson plan, this study describes the development of a tool to assist teachers in the task, which involved coupling a recommendation system to suggest links, texts, videos and images available on the web, topic addressed in chapter 3. The recommendation system has an embedded accessibility checker so that the materials produced could address accessibility criteria according to the W3C recommendations. In Chapter 4, we present the work connected to the development tool to help teachers and the methodological proposals for development, data collection and analysis of data for the present thesis. The survey was conducted with a sample of 20 teachers from several fields who validated the tool through a questionnaire, as well as the use of the tool and the development of lesson plans. From the data analysis, we could observe that teachers who were not acquainted with the accessibility issue have changed their concepts and reformulated their lesson plans in order to get a positive evaluation regarding content accessibility. Those teachers also certified the importance of content recommendation to complement and enhance the content of their lesson plans. In Chapter 5, the closing remarks of the research are presented and ideas for future studies are suggested.
