BARBOSA, Marily Oliveira. SCHOOLING OF STUDENTS WITH DEAFNESS AND PROFESSIONALS INVOLVED: focus on Brazilian legal devices. Rev. Exitus [online]. 2020, vol.10, e020008.  Epub Mar 28, 2022. ISSN 2237-9460.  https://doi.org/10.24065/2237-9460.2020v10n0id1152.

Several achievements have already been achieved in relation to what is prescribed in Brazilian legal provisions regarding the schooling of students with deafness: the guarantee of use of the Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS) in the classroom; the presence of professionals who make use of this language; among other conditions that aid in the academic learning in the regular school. Under this bias, this study seeks to analyze in the Brazilian legal documents dealing with the education of deaf students what types of support and which professionals should be involved in the schooling process and to discuss the training of professionals within the scope of the prescribed one. This study is documentary, through the following legal provisions: Law No. 10,436 (2002), Decree No. 5,626 (2005), Law No. 12,319 (2010) and Law No. 13,146 (2015). These devices were listed because they directly related the deaf person to the educational issue. Data analysis took place through content analysis. We emphasize that in addition to the indispensable presence of sign language in the classroom and in the school environment, as the main form of communication of and with the student with deafness, it is also essential the presence of professionals who use this language. These will be responsible for both sign language teaching for deaf students, and for translation and interpretation. The training of these professionals and the analysis of what is prescribed is urgent so that the schooling of students with deafness occurs in a way that suits their communicative and learning needs.
