title: Accessibility assessment of assistive technology for the hearing impaired.
abstract: to assess the automatic accessibility of assistive technology in online courses for the hearing impaired.
  evaluation study guided by the Assessment and Maintenance step proposed in the Model of Development of Digital Educational Material. The software Assessor and Simulator for the Accessibility of Sites (ASES) was used to analyze the online course "Education on Sexual and Reproductive Health: the use of condoms" according to the accessibility standards of national and international websites.
  an error report generated by the program identified, in each didactic module, one error and two warnings related to two international principles and six warnings involved with six national recommendations. The warnings relevant to hearing-impaired people were corrected, and the course was considered accessible by automatic assessment.
  we concluded that the pages of the course were considered, by the software used, appropriate to the standards of web accessibility.
