By considering the inclusion of people with visual impairment in regular education, this paper aims to take the perspective of referencing the Braille system as one of the Maths learning resources for blind students. It is characterized as exploratory research with a bibliographic emphasis, as well as describing the experiences of the researcher in a Specialized Treatment Center to People with Visual Impairment. It was possible to verify that the Braille system is presented as one of the available resources for Maths teaching, however, further adaptations in the material are still needed, to enable the blind student to access the several forms of representation in maths.
