This article presents the results of a research that investigated the interactions between a student with a visual impairment and her colleagues in an inclusive classroom, of a public school in Belém of Pará, with the purpose to know how these relations of friendship are established in this context of development. For data collection, were used two techniques: the observation and the sociometric interview with the focal subject and her classmates. The data collected showed that the responses of the student regarding to her preferences of friendship are related to cooperation and sharing in the classroom and in the school playground. The same didn't happen with the other students, whose data obtained in the interview and observation pointed relevant differences concerning to friendship preferences, with particular regard to the student with disability.
