    The aim of this study was to understand the use of Assistive technology in pedagogical practices of teachers in the elementary school which works with students with visual impairment and low vision in the municipality of Itapevi, São Paulo. The research is characterized as qualitative, transversal and exploratory approach. Teachers were asked to answer a self-administered questionnaire with questions regarding the use of assistive technology for the activities developed in their settings. The results indicated that the assistive technology equipments, provided by the government, most used for students with visual and low vision disabilities were the screen reader computer programs (DOSVOX and NVDA) and among those made by hand by teachers was the Braille alphabet. The selection criteria used by teachers to choose the assistive technology are based on the students' needs to promote functionality, autonomy and facilitate the learning process. The practicality of use and the degree of visual acuity were also determining factors in the selection of each technology. Teachers reported difficulty as the lack of sophisticated features and training for appropriate use of equipment.
