Breve reflexão sobre a educação de surdos do ensino fundamental na cidade de Maceió

Abstract

By assuming that communication is essential for the healthy development of any person in society - as an expression of their needs, desires, feelings and ideas -, it is necessary that the education of deaf children is established in a complex way, because in a way In general, these are born in families that are listening and not users of sign language, often making effective communication impossible. This paper aims to reflect on the effectiveness of the process of deaf education in elementary school in the city of Maceió, having as a parameter the educational policy of inclusion, designed in the acquisition of language and in the existence and effectiveness of social equipment for service to deaf children in Maceió, seeking in the historical trajectory the nuances of legally acquired rights and their effectiveness in the life of the public in question. In this sense, based on bibliographic and documentary research, paying attention to the legal provisions that deal with education and its application in the special or inclusive educational perspective, the qualitative analysis method was used to interpret the data and texts, from the perspective of historical recovery of this process. Therefore, in seeking to assimilate the recent picture of deaf education as a result of the historical process of exclusion and resistance of the deaf community, we undertake a critical reflection on the sociocultural impacts of deafness and its consequences in the legislation and its effectiveness in the social facilities of assistance to deaf children, in order to infer about the real conditions of the process of education of deaf people in elementary school in our reality.
