Educação Especial e Inclusão

Abstract

We bring to this study the theme of deafness from the perspective of the right to difference in equal rights in a classroom context. Therefore, this text is concerned with looking at deaf students who use – or are in the process of acquiring – sign language. This issue generates anguish in the educator, because in most cases, there is no training for the professional to learn to deal with the issue of linguistic difference – because sign language is indeed a language.
