Based on the realization that people with visual impairments have been considered outside the standards historically accepted by society, and that current society is also responsible for maintaining the conservative and incoherent conception that the visually impaired person is incapable of being a subject autonomous, with full rights, it is understood that this vision permeates education. Thus, the inclusive education policy encounters obstacles to its implementation in the country's education system. This research aims to reflect on the participation of ACADEVI (Associação Cascavelense de Pessoas com Deficiência Visual), as a social movement, in the education of people with visual impairment, in their entry, stay and conclusion in higher education, in Cascavel and Toledo (PR), from 2000 to 2020, highlighting the role of Specialized Educational Assistance in this process, since it integrates the current educational policy. The method of historical-dialectical materialism underlies the research; the methodology includes qualitative research with bibliographic review and document analysis, in legislation, dissertations, theses, books and scientific articles; the application of a questionnaire to 16 blind people or people with reduced vision, who attended/are attending higher education constitutes the field research. Historical Cultural Psychology contributes with concepts about supercompensation, which can be achieved by people with disabilities, enabling autonomy in the direction of overcoming mystical and biological conceptions, and achieving social validity. ACADEVI, as a social movement, contributed/contributes to the human and social formation of its members and continues to fight for the permanence of the rights already conquered, through several clashes, and for the participation of people with disabilities to be increasingly expanded. in higher education and other social spaces. From the study, the conditions that people with visual impairment had/have to be in the academic space and how they faced/face the study at the university were verified. The results show that people who are blind or have reduced vision have had access and conditions to attend higher education, through collective mobilizations, which is a factor that influences higher education institutions - public and private, contributing to the expansion of Specialized Educational Assistance, although there is still a lot to be done in terms of the necessary accessibility.
