La inclusión efectiva de estudiantes con discapacidad visual en el sistema educativo enfrenta barreras significativas, como el acceso a materiales visuales y el desarrollo de habilidades adaptadas. Este proyecto explora la aplicación de herramientas de Inteligencia Artificial (IA) para mejorar la accesibilidad y fomentar una participación equitativa en la educación. Un diagnóstico inicial, basado en encuestas a docentes, reveló una baja familiaridad y uso de tecnologías de apoyo y aplicaciones de IA, a pesar de una alta disposición a participar en iniciativas innovadoras. En respuesta, se seleccionaron y adaptaron herramientas de IA como conversión de texto a voz (TTS), reconocimiento de voz con transcripción automática (ASR) y descripción inteligente de imágenes. Se diseñaron actividades pedagógicas prototipo que integran estas herramientas para facilitar el acceso a información textual y gráfica, promoviendo habilidades como la escucha activa, la expresión oral, el pensamiento crítico y la creatividad. El proyecto también incluye materiales de orientación para educadores y estudiantes sobre la aplicación pedagógica de estas tecnologías. Los resultados preliminares del diseño y la fase diagnóstica indican que la IA tiene un potencial considerable para transformar las prácticas educativas inclusivas, pero resaltan la necesidad de capacitación docente exhaustiva y adaptación contextualizada de las herramientas. Se concluye que es crucial continuar la investigación y el desarrollo de estas soluciones, junto con estrategias de implementación sostenibles y éticamente responsables, para reducir la brecha de accesibilidad educativa.
