Abstract

The use of technology and multimedia resources in the educational setting has proven to be an effective way to cater to different learning needs and promote greater accessibility in education. However, many inclusive educational materials focus on specific adaptations, limiting their reach to students with diverse needs.
In this context, the Inclusive Periodic Table project proposes the expansion of an interactive educational resource based on the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), with the aim of expanding the possibilities for teaching the periodic table. The prototype integrates multiple multimedia resources, including Brazilian Sign Language (Libras), Braille, audio narration, and visual elements, providing different ways to interact with the content.
It is expected that this proposal will contribute to expanding accessibility in chemistry education, offering learning alternatives that cater to different student profiles.
