Among Vygotski’s contributions to historical and cultural psychology with regard to education, enhancement is conferred to those that refer to the conditions analyzed within the context of disabilities. Current research identifies some of these contributions for the educational intervention with disability people. Studies on Vygotski which highlight contributions for the education of people featuring intellectual disability, deafness, blindness/deafness and others, are reviewed. Aiming at going deeper into the Vygostski’s theory for blind people’s education, the psychology system and its importance on the educational intervention within the visual disability context are analyzed. Current research enhances the real contribution that Vygotski produced for the implementation of educational experiences that benefit the autonomy and citizenship of visually disabled people.
