A INCLUSÃO DA LIBRAS NO CURRÍCULO ESCOLAR A PARTIR DA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL

Abstract

Inclusion is a process that is highlighted in today's society as a result of the advancement of Public Policies aimed at people with special needs in various spheres of society. Thus, it is important to ensure the inclusion of the deaf and, above all, to clarify the importance of disclosing Libras to facilitate the communication of these subjects with others. Thus, the objective of this study is to emphasize the importance of spreading the Brazilian Sign Language from Early Childhood Education so that, when learning this language from an early age, the child can better communicate with their peers and teachers through the mediation of an interpreter. What are the advantages of teaching Libras from Early Childhood Education? A bibliographic research was carried out through Scielo, Google Scholar and in works that deal with the trajectory of the education of the deaf, in addition to the legislation that regulates sign language and gives the appropriate directions for its dissemination and guaranteeing the access of deaf people to a education with equity. The inclusion of Libras in Early Childhood Education will allow the expansion of communication of the deaf, greater interaction with others and understanding of the lived space. The teaching of Libras from the beginning of schooling is understood as an important mechanism for the psychosocial and cognitive development of these students, since the absence of this relationship can trigger the school failure of the deaf individual.
