This article presents the results of a systematic literature review conducted in the form of a Scoping Review, focusing on languages and communicational accessibility resources. The aim of the research was to map the existing scientific knowledge on the use of languages and Assistive Technology resources as tools that promote communicational accessibility for people with disabilities and/or specific needs, focusing on access to and dissemination of information. The research involved searching, grouping, and analyzing scientific articles, following predefined exclusion criteria. The bibliographic review was conducted in national and international electronic databases, covering the period from 2016 to 2022. The following descriptors were used: audio description, Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS, acronym in Portuguese) window, subtitling for the deaf and hard of hearing, accessible document design, and access to information. Of the 516 studies identified, 17 were classified as eligible and comprised the research sample. The results of this review indicate that the combined and diversified use of languages and Assistive Technology resources enhances communicational accessibility. It is concluded that, for the development of accessible communication products, it is essential to consider accessibility principles from the design phase, minimizing the need for adaptations or exclusive solutions for specific groups in isolation.
