This research aims to comprehend the concept and the process of compensation in the blind person´s development throughout history, as well as the comprehension of the background in Vigotski´s formulation. The specific interest in the compensation process of blind people is related to the researcher´s professional practice (teaching of blind students in regular teaching spaces, specifically in higher education), as well as proceeding with the Master´s research conducted between the years 2006/2008. In order to do so, a historical point of view has been chosen, searching for the concept of compensation from its most remote origins, until we get to the discussions proposed by Vigotski, as a process that values the abilities of the impaired person, instead of prioritizing their limitations, their incapacities or their flaws . This way, we seek to comprehend science as a human production that aims to fulfill its needs, determined by them and interfering on them, for it is believed that when comprehending a data, a fact, a moment or a concept through historical research, it is found in the historical information itself what makes the comprehension of a set of productions possible, in which it is an effect itself. Therewith, we get to the conclusion that, when comprehending the process of compensation as a resource, as an instrument that helps us in the development of blind people and, not only as a means of organ compensation in the absence of vision, hearing or touch becomes in charge of supporting its function -, we will be able to find one of the fundamentals for what we now refer to as inclusion or education for all
