Abstract

The language is configured as the primary means of communication and interaction between people in different cultures, civilizations and social organizations. The family as a first socializing agent is responsible for the main contributions to the acquisition of sign language of deaf children, but the difficulties faced by families in learning LIBRAS, shows up as an obstacle to the provision of such persons in the family and in the middle social. The objective of this research was to investigate how the families of deaf children are contributing in the process of acquisition of sign language, for that were interviewed seven families of children students a school pole inclusion in João Pessoa city. The study is trimmed in socio interactionist theory of Vygotsky and Bakhtin to understand that is not the biological organism that explains how language development occurs, but the interference socio-historical and cultural experienced by the individual. To access the contents expressed in the speeches of the families, we opted for a qualitative research methodology, to understand that this is the most appropriate material to access a subjective nature. However, to profile families used the quantitative research. It was perceived that although these families show concern entering their children in inclusive school and have a positive outlook about their future, was not evident in this study that these families seek ways to provide favorable that sign language can be learned from the family since they are not inserted in the deaf community, resulting in delayed child's linguistic and hindering their development process and social interaction.
