Systematic review is an important methodological process that summarizes studies on a particular theme, and shows the gaps for possible investigations. In this sense, the purpose of this study is to analyze, by means of a systematic review, the literature on studies in the area of inclusion of persons with visual impairment in mainstream education in Brazil. The key-words were: "inclusion in education", "inclusive education", "visual impairment", "visually impaired", "education of the blind." Four-hundred and fifty-two publications were found, in electronic databases, reference lists and personal communication. After evaluation of the studies, eleven fulfilled the criteria for inclusion in this systematic review. The systematic revealed: a reduced number of articles discussing teaching methodologies and experimental studies; the predominance of descriptive studies and case studies, with an emphasis on describing services and the perception of professionals; numerous variables that merit future investigations; lastly this review showed that the majority of studies on inclusion policies focused on southeastern Brazil.

Keywords : Inclusive Education; Visual Impairment; Special Education; Systematic Review.
