Questão [online]. 2021, vol.59, n.59, e-23212.  Epub Apr 18, 2022. ISSN 1981-1802.  https://doi.org/10.21680/1981-1802.2021v59n59id23212.

The education of the deaf people began in many countries from the 19th century through the influence of the National Institute for the Deaf People in Paris, founded in the 18th century. This was the case in Brazil with the foundation of the Imperial Institute of the Deaf-Mute People, in 1 857, in Rio de Janeiro. Another country that inaugurated this type of education in the same century was Portugal, but with another lineage, the Swedish. Therefore, this study aims to highlight the possible influences that the Imperial Institute of the Deaf-Mute People of Brazil received from the National Institute of the Deaf People in Paris and the Royal Institute of the Deaf and Blind People of Lisbon in relation to the pedagogical proposal and rehabilitation work. The research has a qualitative approach and is documentary and bibliographic type. The study made it possible to understand that the Brazilian institute assimilated several aspects of the European legacy, including elements of curriculum and professional formation for deaf students.

Keywords : Deaf people education; Deaf people; Education history; Empire in Brazil.
