question: The COVID-19 Pandemic interrupted university activities at the beginning of the first semester of 2020, forcing the academic community to reinvent itself to meet the determinations of social isolation. The use of assistive technologies such as information and communication technologies has never been more welcome. However, for a college student with visual impairment to resume his studies, taking the discipline of Physics Laboratory of Electricity remotely, it was necessary to develop teachings methods and specific materials that would meet his needs. In this article we describe the experience and challenges of teaching experimental physics to a visually impaired student in the hope of encouraging other teachers not to feel limited in the face of difficulties and to believe in the potential of their students, even those who lack one of their senses to understand the world. The remote laboratory activity allowed the student to use multimeters, make circuits, take measurements and even produce graphics. © 2021 IOP Publishing Ltd.
