The present work shows methods of implementing inclusive education in geoscience and paleontology areas for blind and low-vision individuals, being considered a limiting science to this public due to the dependence of the sense of sight. Tactile resources, the use of techniques of high relief and color contrast in illustrations are essential for the development and learning of young people with visual limitations. Concomitant with the creation of materials, the work proposes that students, especially ones of all levels besides teachers can act as diffusers in the spread of the use of inclusion techniques, such as children from the schools of Alegre and Jerônimo Monteiro and undergraduates and teachers. They work at the Macroscopy Laboratory of the Geology course at UFES and at the Natural History Museum of the Southern State of Espírito Santo. In addition, the project reaches other states, such as schools in Rio de Janeiro city and Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais.
