This research presents an analysis conducted in a public school in Paranoá, Distrito Federal, with the general objective of making learning in public schools more accessible to people with visual impairments. The project proposes pedagogical adaptations in braille using 3D printing. Interviews were used as tools for qualitative data collection to identify specific demands and develop pedagogical and accessibility resources that seeks to eliminate existing barriers and seeks to ensure the inclusion and autonomy of students. The construction of adapted materials and the promotion of accessibility for students with visual impairments prioritize teaching-learning and the rights to integral development, to education and civil rights of these students.
