It was selected, with stratified sampling, the demand and it held the anthropometric survey of the sample subject, with the checking of the variables, when it calculated the average estimate value and pattern deviation, wich represents the degree of the variability of measures. The sample subject were divided by sort. The Ishikawa Diagram provided grants to reveal the indicators of the approached problematic, the survey of the cause and consequence. With the reiterated observation of research subjects in situations of school learnings and the use of stuffs adopted by schools, they sattled the incoveniences and incoherences of the furniture used by low vision students at the multifunctional sources classrooms in their own pattern schools.
