Abstract:
This research, entitled Schooling for Hearing Impaired Persons: the role of family,
school and health, was developed in the research line Education, Culture, Theories
and Pedagogical Processes (ECTPP) of the Strictu Sensu Graduate Program -
Academic Master's Degree in Education of the Inhumas College. It aims to present a
reflection on the role of the various social actors involved in the process of schooling
for hearing-impaired people. More specifically, to describe the legal aspects about
hearing impairment in official documents dealing with the education of the
handicapped; to report on studies involving the hearing-impaired; to describe the
difficulties encountered by the hearing-impaired and the implications of family, school,
and health participation in this process. The problematizing question that guided the
investigation was: what is the role of the several social actors involved in the process
of schooling the person with hearing impairment? As methodological procedure we
chose an exploratory bibliographic research, carried out in the Scielo data repository,
in the last five years, by means of which scientific articles were chosen that
approached the specific theme of hearing impairment, focusing on the role of family,
school and health. The person with hearing impairment at birth or in their growth
phase has difficulty hearing, and may have difficulties in their development, because
hearing is important for language in their socialization and other conditions that make
them interact in their environment. To guide the arguments about this topic, we
sought a theoretical referential based on a qualitative exploratory literature review,
pertinent to the schooling of the person with disability. The results pointed out
fundamental aspects of the relationship with the family, school, and health, which are
determinants in conducting the schooling of the hearing-impaired person.
