Evaluation of the Good Practice
Positive, given the importance of having technology as a vector of inclusion, and there is a whole vertical designed for this, which are assistive technologies. Technology is in our daily lives, in mobility, food, entertainment and also in accessibility. The program seeks to bring independence and emancipation to users. The deaf community lacked this accessibility, it was a very important initiative for the entire deaf community.
