The discussion about the historical trajectory of the education of the deaf and blind in Brazil is still necessary, since the discourse that transformed them into passive person who would have been graced by the benevolence of "good men" still currently echoes. In this sense, this research aims at presenting the context where the education for deaf and blind people started in France, in the 18th century, and in Brazil, in the 19th century. It will also define the impacts the French education for deaf and blind people caused in the Brazilian education for the same target audience. The period established for the study is from 1760 to 1890 in France and from 1854 to 1890 in Brazil. In order to do so, a bibliographical and documental research (GIL, 2002) was carried out. Through the investigation, we concluded that the procedures established in France for the education of deaf and blind people in the first educational institutions target at such audience has caused a significant impact in the administrative, managerial and, mainly, pedagogical aspects of the work developed at that time in Brazil.
