Accessibility for people with visual impairments is of vital importance for them to exercise their citizenship. An adapted work environment, which makes assistive technologies (TA) available, helps people with visual impairments to perform their tasks more efficiently, allowing them to exercise their potential and compete with equal opportunities. Limiting the individual for being a visually impaired person is a barrier that needs to be eliminated. Since 2001, the Pernambuco Court of Justice (TJPE) has in its staff of clerks, people with different types of visual impairment. Therefore, and within this context, the present work aimed to evaluate the usability of assistive technologies by TJPE workers who have visual impairment. To this end, a survey was carried out with a questionnaire using Google Forms® to find out the opinion of these servers on the topic addressed. Of the total population of 49 people, 26 effectively answered the questionnaire. The present work was approved by the TJPE and was evaluated and approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the University of Pernambuco (UPE), under CAAE nº 52755021.2.0000.5207. The results obtained showed that there are initiatives regarding the inclusion of the visually impaired person in the TJPE; however, a process of continuity and consistency in the actions regarding the use of TA was not perceived.
