People with visual impairments need to be assisted with resources that include educational, cultural, and political processes. Therefore, it is essential that strategies are developed so that these people become critical citizens, committed and active in a democratic society, regardless of the disability. The study aims to develop, validate, and distribute the Spoken Book Production Manual to guide the recording of texts in audio to outline guidelines for teachers and professionals of inclusive education. The Manual will provide a current and consonant orientation with the appropriate use by the user of the product. The methodology of this study was qualitative, based on bibliographical, historical, documentary and field research. The Manual was validated through a questionnaire, answered by 12 participants from three Digital Audio Book Recording Workshops offered at the Benjamin Constant Institute between 2018 and 2019. The produced Manual will be available for free in the E-book format. These products add experience to the perspectives of diversity and inclusion in ??visual impairment and are fundamental to the development of an increasingly better work with assistive technology resources.
