Abstract

Despite the fact that the Law Project no. 10.098/2000 ensured to the hard of hearing and visually impaired the free access to all means of communication, it was only in 2004 that the Decree no. 5.296 determined the implementation of three systems that guaranteed the ample access of these citizens to the audiovisual medium. However, it was only in March of 2006, after two modifications, that this decree started to be amply discussed. The issue of accessibility is not a simple one for a developing country, because it implies large investments in technology and human resources. As regards the latter, it is worth asking how the training of professionals in audiovisual accessibility will happen. This article reveals the pioneering effort of a research group in audiovisual translation of the Federal University of Bahia to introduce the issue of accessibility in the academy, especially as far as the blind and visually impaired are concerned. The article reports on the results of the first phase of a pilot project (phase Salvador), which aims at elaborating an audiodescription model that can meet the needs and preferences of the Brazilian visually impaired audience.
