Accessibility for people with visual disabilities: tactile paths, inclusive tools, and participatory design
The article analyzes cultural accessibility for people with visual disabilities, highlighting how an inclusive approach requires attention to all aspects of the experience, from reception to the tactile and visual perception of the works. The importance of tools such as tactile paths, maps and models, relief reproductions, braille captions, and QR codes with audio descriptions is emphasized, along with clear and detailed indications on language and orientation. The design must consider different visual conditions and individual needs, offering reasonable accommodations and personalized support. Essential is the direct involvement of people with disabilities in the design and evaluation of the paths. The goal is to ensure a meaningful, enriching, and accessible cultural experience for all visitors.
