Abstract
Currently, the use of Communication and Information Technology (CIT) can allow, in the educational field, include a larger number of people in teaching-learning processes. Likewise, through the web, there are available a lot of educational resources to be used by the community. However, for people with certain special educational needs and with physical disabilities remain barriers to accessing this content. This has generated high interest in the academic community for the development of strategies to support the process of social and educational inclusion and in general to improve web accessibility. In this sense, this paper wants to show a tool to support the access of people with visual impairment to web platforms. The tool has already been integrated into an adaptive and interactive educational framework.
