This study discloses the experience of Youth and Adult Education (EJA) on the social representations of hearing impaired students and the exclusion process in the municipality of Altamira, Pará. The theoretical foundation is based on studies on social representations; representation of Piaget's world of children; fundamentals of defectology of the abnormal child of Vygotsky. The qualitative research approach was used. We observed the exclusion experienced by the hearing impaired subjects in the school unit. However, in evening teaching, students feel challenged to develop intellectually. The encounter with the Brazilian Sign Language represents a possible tool for school social development in the social transformation of its reality.

Keywords : Social representations; Hearing impaired; Youth and adult education; Special education; Inclusion.
