The focus of this study is on the teaching of mathematics, trying to understand how the teacher education takes place for those working with blind people. To carry out this study, we chose Padre Chico Institute for the Blind, an elementary school specialized in teaching blind students, located in the area of Ipiranga, Sao Paulo, SP. Many aspects were observed, among which, their facilities, the available resources, the practice of the math teacher and the materials she made use of in order to teach. An interview was also conducted with the teacher as to understand her teacher education and professional learning in this specific field. In light of Shulman s theory and references about reflexive teachers, we were able to analyze this teacher s track record focusing on the factors that contributed to her professional success. The results indicate the teacher s personal will to seek the necessary knowledge to teach and to build up the adequate resources for the students to learn the math contents. It is also noted the importance to encourage teachers to work with students who have special education needs and the need for the teaching institutions to consider the different contexts of practice as part of internships and a matter of reflection for teacher students. This would create opportunities for the construction of specialized knowledge regarding this teaching.
