ABSTRACT
This article proposes the discussion of social inclusion aspects as resources to be encouraged. We do so through the development of educational and interactive shirts that provide tactile experiences for children with visual impairment, aged between 3 and 9 years. The lack of development of products for that niche is noted. Consequently, we expect to contribute to the discussion on the need for products with functions directed towards children with visual impairment, within the inclusive fashion market, specifically using surface design to create textures. To confirm and verify the developed products’ efficiency, we conducted usability tests with children. The aim of the tests was to assess the products’ practicality, comfort, autonomy, tactile experience, and readability in Braille. In this way, the work proposes, in a strategic and planned way, the elaboration of a product that contributes and in fact includes this public in the studied context.
