A implantação da Libras no ensino regular e os desafios dos alunos surdos frente a inclusão

Abstract

Today, deaf people officially have their own language, the Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS), and have laws that guarantee inclusion. However, despite all the laws and policies, deaf people still face barriers, especially in education, which should be the most inclusive space. The challenges faced by deaf people are related to insufficient inclusion in mainstream education, as they have no mechanisms to provide equal rights to non-hearing (deaf) people, given that they don't speak the same language. So, what are the main challenges facing deaf students in mainstream education? The research methodology was bibliographic research, using a qualitative approach of a descriptive nature, the data was collected in a virtual database of google scholar, being articles published in Portuguese from the last 20 years, with inclusion and exclusion criteria, being analyzed 5 (five) articles that reflect on the theme. The results show that there are barriers and difficulties faced by deaf students in mainstream education, from the lack of trained teachers, a libras interpreter, to communicating and interacting with students. We conclude that there is a need to establish new ideas in the process of including deaf students, and that it is necessary to implement the teaching of sign language in order to provide new perspectives on the inclusion of deaf students in mainstream education.
