The entire research to define what could be standardized in terms of tactile maps in
Brazil both for education and orientation/mobility, as well as its production, was carried
out with the direct participation of the visually impaired, who were volunteers from two
organs: Associação Catarinense para a Integração do Cego (ACIC) (Association for the
Integration of the Blind of Santa Catarina) and Fundação Catarinense de Educação
Especial (FCEE) (Association of Special Education of Santa Catarina).
