The Braille Code is very important in the educational process of students with visual impairment, because this writing system allows which the students know the systematic and organized writing knowledge. These students need to know the symbols and the use’s standards of them, so they can write, read and understand the contents. The Unified Chemistry and Mathematics Braille Code are fundamentally important for these students to understand the texts about these themes. This study aimed to evaluation of the knowledge level of High School students with visual impairment in the João Pessoa city about Unified Chemistry and Mathematics Braille Code. The students showed a relatively good knowledge of symbols and rules of the Unified Mathematics Braille Code, presenting, in the most cases, difficulties in recognizing unusual symbols. The student’s main difficulties were related to Unified Chemistry Braille Code, because they did not know many symbols and writing rules, presenting a low knowledge level.Downloads
