Abstract

Taking into account the inclusive character of higher education institutions, guaranteed by Brazilian legislation, the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB) plays an essential role that guarantees not only access, but also equity for people who need specialized educational care. In thissense, UFPB hasthe performance of the Inclusion and Accessibility Committee (CIA) of the Federal University of Paraíba, which is a special service, linked to the rector's office where it serves students with disabilities and/or Specific Educational Needs (SEN), playing a very important role in ensuring the access and permanence of people with disabilities in the academic environment. The CIA also relies on the services of Brazilian Sign Language Interpreters(TILS), which operate in the differentsegments of UFPB. In this context, the main objective of this work is to understand how the performance of the LibrasTranslator interpreter is being, in the Inclusion and Accessibility Committee at the University, seeking to identify the challenges, problems and advances experienced by the TILS in the academic institution, in addition to contributing to map the performance of the TILS and indicate possible improvements in meeting the special educational needs of the deaf enrolled at UFPB, in different courses and segments of the university in which the performance of these professionals occurs. This study is necessary, since the number of students who need specialized educational assistance is quite significant, requiring more and more attention from the academic institution to offer the best possible pedagogical support to the deaf community present at UFPB. The survey has a qualitative and quantitative character, and had the participation of 14 TILS through the digital platform Google forms. As a result, we obtained several statistical and tabulated data on the performance of TILS in the university, as well as the identification of problems that hinder the work of these professionals. The data allow us to affirm that the TILS have a qualified training with different educational levels and professional experiences, in addition, it was also identified that there are several obstaclesthat hinder the performance of the function of the TILPS, such as scarcity of materials, adequate spaces for work and lack of knowledge of the professional role of Librasby some teachers.
