摘要：
A huge amount of content has been made available on the Web. Although there are several initiatives to guide an accessible web development, researchers have showed that web developers are rarely aware of accessibility issues in their web projects. In this paper, we conducted a survey to verify the evolution of web accessibility awareness in Brazil. We have conducted an exploratory study based on web questionnaire, using a self-selected and non-probabilistic sampling method. The study had 404 valid answers, covering all regions of Brazil. The results show that most of participants has never developed an accessible website and 33.2% of them are not worried about considering accessibility in their future projects. Therefore, it is important to create public policies that improve the current web accessibility scenario, raising the awareness of the people involved in web development, as well as obligating compliance with Brazilian legislation.
