Assistive Technologies for Teaching Programming to Visually Impaired Learners: A Systematic Review

Assistive technologies enable individuals with special needs to access resources that would otherwise be inaccessible due to their condition. In this context, people who are blind or visually impaired face daily challenges related to mobility, communication, and, most notably, access to education in specialized fields. In this work, we perform a systematic literature review that aims to identify and map assistive technologies designed to support programming education for individuals with visual impairments. The review was conducted across three academic databases and resulted in the selection of 22 articles that address the research questions posed in this study.
