The city government of São Vicente, located on the coast of São Paulo, Brazil, has recently taken steps to enhance educational accessibility for visually impaired students within their municipal school network. New equipment, such as braille printers, monocular magnifiers, and adapted educational games, has been obtained to facilitate the creation of accessible teaching materials tailored for 25 students with visual impairments. This effort is part of a larger initiative to incorporate inclusive practices in the local education system.

The municipal administration highlighted that these resources will not only aid in the production of didactic materials accessible to visually impaired students but also enhance their overall learning experience. Each of the municipal schools involved is equipped with essential items, such as A4 writing paper, larger notebooks, and specialized tools like adapted rulers and protractors, ensuring that students can participate fully in educational activities. The support provided includes the involvement of teachers skilled in specialized educational assistance (AEE).

In addition to the printed classroom materials, the implementation of adapted games — including puzzles, memory games, dominoes, and tic-tac-toe — is particularly noteworthy as they are designed to promote sensory development among students. This initiative not only underscores the commitment of the São Vicente administration to fostering inclusivity but also sets a precedent for other Brazilian municipalities to follow, potentially leading to wider reforms in how educational resources are deployed for students with disabilities across the country.
