The research is based on theoretical studies and researchers that supported the author's experience narrative, whom writes about the difficulties experienced by his family and his daughter wich has congenital deafness. Considering that all citizens go through a school institution, the teaching of Libras, being offered in schools, can contribute significantly to the existence of bilingual citizens who work in all fields of society, therefore enabling inclusion that welcomes all people, with no exception
