MUSICALIZAÇÃO E INCLUSÃO DE DEFICIENTES VISUAIS: DO CONTEXTO HISTÓRICO ÀS TECNOLOGIAS ASSISTIVAS

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between musical education and the inclusion of individuals with visual impairments, outlining historical, legal, pedagogical, and technological perspectives. It highlights the role of music as a cognitive, social, and cultural tool, while demonstrating how Assistive Technology, especially Braille music notation and digital resources, supports accessible musical learning. The research also discusses current challenges, such as the declining use of Braille due to the rise of mobile technologies, and emphasizes the need for teacher training and inclusive educational policies. Grounded in bibliographic analysis, the study contributes to understanding how music can strengthen autonomy, participation, and educational equity for visually impaired learners
