In this work, we report the experience of including a visually impaired student in the practical classes of the General Microbiology discipline. As a strategy, some important didactic models were developed within the content of the discipline. For its elaboration, materials of easy acquisition and low cost were used. The use of didactic models in practical classes facilitated the learning of the content of the classes, allowing the identification of microscopic details by the visually impaired student and by all other students, who showed enthusiasm and interest, reporting that the adapted play materials helped in understanding of various structures and microorganisms observed in optical microscopy and in the illustrations of textbooks and books.
