Abstract

The present study is about individual’s integration in a regular school, using the public school called Manoel Vitorino as a local reference, where is registered a great number of students with hearing deficiency. It is a real fact, even so a new one, the inclusion of hearing deficient in a common school, implying in important questions related to the way through which such inclusions occur. Facing these verifications, this study aimed to identify the problems found in the interpersonal relationships among people with hearing deficiency and among them and the students who have normal hearing, as well as determining the learning difficulties found by those individuals, using the classroom as a specific social context. The methodology consisted of questionnaire-form applied to the students and interview used with the teachers of the school. The collected data points that the use of interpersonal relationships among hearing deficient and normal individuals as a positive aspect of the inclusion process, although as far as the learning process is concerned, there be a damage due to inefficiency of the applied didactics, because there is not any form of specific and wide plan that qualifies teachers and employees of the institution to assist the needs of the hearing deficient. It is added the lack of professional accompaniment outside the classroom which is indispensable in this case.
