Astronomy without barriers: Mapping demonstrative experiences in Latin America

Abstract Inclusive astronomy initiatives have been gaining momentum across Latin America, aiming to make the discipline accessible to individuals with disabilities. This study maps and analyzes demonstrative experiences from various countries, highlighting efforts in science dissemination, development of tactile and audio materials, and the adaptation of physical spaces and technologies. Initiatives span academic, governmental, and international collaborations, showcasing a range of approaches from basic accessibility solutions to innovative universal design methods. Challenges include ensuring sustained funding, creating regional networks, and integrating inclusive practices within astronomy institutions. This paper proposes a classification system for inclusive actions and offers insights into future opportunities for equitable access to astronomy.
