PROPOSAL OF THE PROJECT EEMI – TRAINING DEVICE AND BRAILLE PRINTER: SOLUTIONS FOR TEACHING, WRITING AND PRINTING IN BRAILLE

In recent years, the number of people with special needs, such as visualimpairment, has been increasing significantly in educational centers, but the literacyrate of this segment of the population has decreased significantly. One of the mainfactors contributing to this problem is the shortage of qualified instructors to teachpeople to read and write in Braille and the lack of resources for literacy and learning ofthe system. In this current context, this work proposes the construction of the DTB(Dispositivo de Treinamento em Braille) and the Braille printer, controlled by thecommand given to the EEMI application. From the use of these technologies, it isexpected that the number of people literate through the Braille system will increaseand its integration into the pedagogical context.
