Résumé

ABSTRACT. This article shows the importance of teaching literature in training readers with visual impairments (VI) with the support of materials adapted from low-cost Assistive Technology (AT). The study focuses on the initial years, as the teaching of reading and writing involving literature with images with embossed textures becomes more pleasurable for the student, but for the Specialized Educational Assistance (SEA) teacher, the adaptation becomes if a challenge. In this context, the main objective of this work is to produce a book adapted from the poem “The house and its owner", José (1987), contributing to the formation of literary readers in students with blindness or low vision in their development and learning. The work is structured qualitatively in a bibliographical review, for this we resort to theoretical discussions that lead to the description and understanding of the research corpus. The discursive analysis of the data shows the importance and procedures with photos and audio description of the adapted book product in Braille and the images in relief/texture customized with low-cost Assistive Technology of the poem “The house and its owner”, José (1987).
