In recent years there has been a growing interest in attempts to include people, with special needs, performing Software Engineering activities such as programming and systems modeling. In this context, we present the Blind Modeling system (B-Model) tool, which aims to assist visually impaired students on system modeling activity supported by Unified Modeling Language (UML). For making the use of the B-Model tool feasible, we implemented a language called Blind Modeling Language (BML) to standardize the requirements specification to facilitate the automatic generation of use case diagrams. The BML was evaluated through a case study with three blind students and the tool was assessed on an experiment using the requirements specification of four different scenarios performed by these students. The results suggest the acceptance and use of BML language and the effectiveness of the B-Model tool since the generated use case diagrams correspond to the specified functional requirements using the BML.
