La implementación del sistema Braille en supermercados de Lima Metropolitana

“Diseño desde y para la inclusión”

Abstract

The present study entitled "The Implementation of the Braille system in Supermarkets of Metropolitan Lima" aims to demonstrate the importance of implementing the Braille system in supermarkets to improve the inclusion of people with visual disabilities. The sample consisted of 25 people between the ages of 15 and 70, users and workers of the Metro supermarket in Metropolitan Lima. A 22-question survey was conducted to collect data and had the support of five subject matter experts to validate the survey questions. The design used was pre-experimental, and the lack of inclusion in supermarkets in the area and the difficulties faced by people with visual disabilities when making purchases were investigated. The observed results were p<0.285, so the Hi was rejected and the Ho was accepted. The conclusion is that the implementation of the Braille system in supermarkets represents progress towards inclusion and accessibility, allowing blind people to access relevant information and make their purchases autonomously. However, it is necessary to continue working on additional improvements to ensure the inclusion of all visually impaired citizens in supermarkets.
