ABSTRACT This article presents the historical path of the Deaf Movement in defense of Bilingual Schools for the Deaf, throughout the past years, brought about by the imminent threat of the closing of the centenary INES (National Institute of Deaf Education) school in 2011, that led to an unprecedented mobilization towards the inclusion of Bilingual Schools for the Deaf in the PNE (National Plan of Education) - currently sanctioned by the law 13.005/2014. We fight for a bilingual PNE consistent with the Linguistic Identity formation of the Deaf Community, guaranteed by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which recognizes the importance of Sign Language and Deaf Culture for Deaf People.

Keywords : Bilingual Education; Deaf Movement; History; Sign Language; Deaf Culture.
