INCLUSION OF A DEAF STUDENT IN VOCATIONAL EDUCATION IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL IN THE CITY OF LONDRINA, BRAZIL

Abstract

The research portrays the process of inclusion of a deaf student in the Technical Subsequent Accounting Course in a state school in the city of Londrina, and aims at: building the profile of a deaf student’s vocational technical course, understanding the difficulties of the deaf student in a process of school inclusion, verifying if the professional technical teachers have training to prepare the inclusion of a deaf student in the school context, identifying whether teachers changed their practice teaching with the presence of a deaf student in the classroom. Thus, we carried out a field research. The results showed a lack of preparation of teachers and management team to work for the inclusion in the school and the difficulties encountered by the student in developing activities in the classroom. It is hoped that the results of this study signalize the inclusion process of deaf students in the context of an inclusive society.
