The use of graphic resources in relief, therefore, provides the overcoming of the
informational barriers, contributes to the inclusion of the disabled ones in school, at
work and in daily-life. This way, the tactile cartography benefits those who depend
on the touch and on the hearing to apprehend images, to use maps and to compre-
hend graphics. Besides, it can be used in every classroom, in every school, with all
students.
Developing materials and methods to help Geography teaching for all, indepen-
dently of its differences, by respecting each one's necessities, is an important step
for the concept of inclusion.
This inclusion can only be put into practice with the partnership between
researchers and teachers. In this sense, the project experiences provide the organi-
zation of courses and workshops for the diffusion of techniques and methodologies
on the using of didactically adapted materials, by the constant exchange of
experiences on the theme and the discussion of its process at school.
LEMADI-DG-USP is nowadays an important space in the area of Tactile
Cartography, a space to the development of discussions on inclusion, where the
whole community can benefit on the materials and on the results reached up to this
moment.
