To this end, the aim was to understand the actions of CAPNE in the inclusion process, identifying assistive technologies that provide education and employability to subsidize material that can contribute to the inclusion of students with visual impairment at IFAM/CMC. The methodological path was based on a qualitative approach, using questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with the help of a script as instruments for data collection, systematizing the results of the analysis through categories. The main results obtained from the research were: assertion that CAPNE plays a relevant role in the inclusion of people with disabilities, as well as providing opportunities for assistive educational technologies to contribute to the process of professional and technological training of students with visual impairment enrolled at IFAM/CMC. As a result of the study generated during the research, the booklet entitled: Good practices for the inclusion of people with visual impairment in secondary level technical courses in the subsequent form-EPT emerged as an educational product. This is the result of a collective work between researcher/researched/advisor, where everyone contributed to the construction of a subsidy that will assist students with visual impairment not only in school life, but also in the world of work. Therefore, it is concluded that the impediments and prejudices present in everyday life possibly still limit the exercise of the right to inclusive education for students with visual impairment. However, despite the various challenges, it was observed that IFAM/CMC, through CAPNE, has been committed to providing specialized educational services, offering effective guidance, support and educational technological resources that seek to ensure inclusion that respects individual differences and human dignity
