Abstract

Assistive Technology (AT) becomes an essential instrument of inclusion, promoting the autonomy of the Person with Disabilities (PwD) in different contexts. In this sense, this article presents a systematic mapping of the literature, whose objective is to investigate the advances in the use of AT resources and services for the inclusion of PwD in the educational scope and provide a catalog with the identified digital resources. A total of 12,279 primary studies were analyzed between the years 2010 and 2019, and at the end, 104 were included in the mapping. The results identified a visual and hearing impairment with a more significant amount of AT resources developed, in addition to the difficulties and benefits reported during its use.
