Special Education in Brazil has been a school education modality since 1996. In 2021, bilingual education for the deaf also became a modality, both duly regulated by the Brazilian National Education Guidelines and Framework Law - Law no. 9.394/1996. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to present a historical series overview, from 2016 to 2020, of students enrolled in Special Education, highlighting the enrollment of deaf, deafblind and hearing-impaired students in Basic Education and Higher Education. To achieve the objective outlined, statistical synopses of Basic Education and Higher Education are used, considering quantitative and qualitative aspects, in a descriptive research, based on Creswell (2010) and Gil (2008). The results indicate a well-established Special Education system, with enrollment percentages increasing year by year. The segment represented by deaf, deafblind, and hearing-impaired individuals has a more modest enrollment growth relative to other Special Education populations.

Keywords : Basic Education; Higher Education; Special Education; Deaf; Hearing impairment; Deafblind.
