About the project
Educação Acessível (Accessible Education) is a project that aims to develop and make available for free educational games that are accessible to deaf children. This initiative is the result of a collaboration between the Video Games Degree at the School of Communication, Arts and Technology - Lusófona University, Casa Pia de Lisboa and the IP-CED Jacob Rodrigues Pereira. It currently offers 26 free video games with the integration of Portuguese sign language, aimed at teaching mathematics. The games available range from pre-school to the 3rd cycle of basic education.
