Children who are born with a visual impairment react to their condition in a very different way than people who become visually impaired as adults who have led independent lives and children with visual impairment have no memory of how it is commonly used. Vision and must learn to live simultaneously with its development. Objective: Based on the classification of visual impairment and current treatments to characterize interdisciplinary management in school children with Visual Impairment. Methodology: Systematic review of scientific literature using the scale of the U.S Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). Findings: According to studies carried out, blind or visually impaired people can perform academically using appropriate didactic stimulation techniques so that the information is effective. Both the interdisciplinary team and the use of analog models are a key to learning concepts through the other senses in blind and visually impaired students. Conclusion: Failure to detect early congenital refractive problems can lead to visual impairment or blindness that will require interdisciplinary management and the use of Information Technology, including the family.
