O acesso da comunidade surda à rede básica de ensino de Aracaju

Abstract

This study focused on educational policy for the deaf population. The overall objective was to identify inclusive education policies for deaf people that promote access to basic education in Aracaju, from the perspective of guaranteeing rights. The specific objectives outlined were: to discuss public policies on inclusive education in Brazil and in Aracaju; to briefly highlight the types of teaching methodologies for deaf people and to identify how deaf people access basic education in Aracaju. The method of analysis was historical-dialectical materialism, which guided the analysis of the laws and historical context of the topic addressed. The research was characterized as exploratory descriptive, qualitative in nature, through the collection of bibliographic and documentary data. The main results indicate that, although there have been notable advances in legislation and the expansion of enrollment from an inclusive perspective, there remain weaknesses related to linguistic accessibility, the shortage of trained professionals, and effective curriculum adaptation. Thus, the study points to the need to increase investment in the implementation of specific public policies that guarantee the full inclusion of the deaf community in basic education.
