Abstract

This monograph aims to describe and analyze how the process has been occurring for the inclusion of deaf students in higher education, focusing on the main action implemented what is called Program Support to Students with Learning Disabilities, offered a deaf student in UFPB campus I. Therefore, initially, we did a literature search around a conceptual review on themes that supported the research, relating to legal, ESA, and specific aspects of deafness and the inclusion of empirical qualitative approach. To acquire data from reality, it was decided to use the interview as a research tool. We interviewed two teachers, an interpreter, two supporters and a deaf student, to which the program supports. Therefore, it is clear that the program has major contributions to ensure inclusion and promote accessibility for deaf students. But for this inclusion is effective and successfully committed, need to have proposed broader institutional level so that it can meet the demand for deaf UFPB and adapt the services offered to the needs and peculiarities of each student. However, one can not expect that only the Program of Support to Students with Learning Disabilities and Deaf students make meaningful inclusion happen. It is necessary that all members play their part and that other measures are taken in this direction and actions that constitute institutionalized.
