A inclusão social na percepção dos estudantes do Instituto Cearense de Educação de Surdos

Abstract

The debate on social inclusion has gained strength in various strata of society because it represents a new look at the citizen under unfavorable conditions. The objective of this study was to identify how the deaf student perceives social inclusion. In this context, we sought to know how these individuals face the realities of social inclusion in everyday social life, formal education and the labor market. To that end, we performed a qualitative research, initially composed of a literature review followed by a field survey. The field research consisted of two conducting two focus groups with deaf students regularly enrolled in a public high school located in the city of Fortaleza and facing youth and adults who are deaf. Through the results we infer that the inclusion in the daily lives of students remains a challenge due to lack of information of hearing people and the lack of adequate infrastructure in public organizations that facilitate the process of inclusion.
