Thus, the objective was to verify the contribution of ICT in the teaching-learning process of students from public schools in the city of Itumbiara-GO, diagnosed with low vision. This is a field research, of a descriptive character and quantitative analysis, which was carried out with teachers from public schools of regular education in the municipality of Itumbiara-GO who have students with low vision. It was observed that most teachers know and consider the use of ICT in the classroom to be important, but the minority does. Less than half of the respondents have already taken a course in the area of inclusion. The teachers reported that the school has a multifunctional resource room; offers ESA and adapted materials for students with low vision. Most teachers use expanded materials for students and have knowledge of font and font size, and state that there are not many barriers to inclusion and consider their school inclusive. The research shows the importance for teachers to develop teaching methodologies that mobilize students with low vision to participate in classes with greater enthusiasm, so that knowledge is equal, serving as a subsidy for the construction of scientific knowledge.
