ICEVI-Latinoamerica, regional member of the International Council for the Education of People with Visual Impairment, invited all children with visual disabilities between the ages of 8 and 17 in the region, to share with us their experiences during their school inclusion process. We wanted to get closer to their needs and claims through their own voices. They have revealed many different feelings, such as frustration, sadness, insecurity, combined with their wish of overcoming them, their vital optimism and their self-reliance. Let us say that, for the present publication, the expression “visual disability” encompasses persons who have low vision, are blind, deafblind and with multiple disabilities, as ICEVI- Latinoamerica’s Constitution establishes. This invitation was sent to all the members in our region and also to related organizations in the area, through our social media and with the support of the coordinators of each one of the 5 sub-regions in which the Latin American region is strategically divided: Andean Sub-region South Cone Sub-region Brazil Sub-region Mexico Sub-region Central American and Caribbean Sub-region The papers received were classified in three different categories to take into account the specific characteristics that children show during their childhood: 1. First Category: from 8 to 10 years old 2. Second Category: from 11 to 13 years old 5 3. Third Category: From 14 to 17 years old All the papers received
