Abstract

The paper discusses the issue of communication with the deaf when included in mainstream education. The research investigated a model mainstream school in a city in the state of Paraná Brazil. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with hearing students. The research indicates that communication with deaf people is still characterized by impaired communication instead of effective communication. The research concluded that the adoption of Brazilian Sign Language as the first language of deaf people would be an important step to improve school education conditions for these people.
