In chemistry teaching, visually impaired students are excluded from experiments due to lack of adequate material and teacher training to work with these specificities. Containing elements of action research, this investigation focuses on the use of assistive technology as a means for the conceptual meaning of these students in an alcoholic distillation class. Data collection took place through the remaining senses and the intervention of the teacher in training contributed to an independent performance of the students in carrying out the experiment. Our results indicate that assistive technology can be an alternative to inclusive experimental classes stimulated by social interaction aiming at the appropriation of knowledge by the student, that is, a mediation instrument as motivating elements for the learning of chemical knowledge.</p>}, journal={Educação Química en Punto de Vista}, author={Benite, Claudio Roberto Machado and Araújo França, Fernanda and Nobre Vargas, Gustavo and Canavarro Benite, Anna Maria}, year={2022}, month={dez.} }
