Abstract

The legal guarantees ensure access to education for deaf students, notably from some official documents (national \ international) that have driven the publication of specific laws of the educational process for deaf students considering their differences, their cultural identities, as well as the recognition of the natural sign language as the language of instruction. This study analyzed several official documents and laws that provide for the support of the education of the deaf in Brazil, in the light of studies that are dedicated to this educational practice under the theoretical contribution of authors such as Lage et al. (2020), Santos et al. (2015), Perlin and Souza (2015), Quadros et al. (2008), Lodi (2011), Perlin and Strobel (2008),  Miorando (2006), Quadros and Schmiedt (2006), among others who are dedicated to the theme in question. The research is characterized as exploratory, from the point of view of its objective, bibliographic and documentary by its procedures. The result of the research pointed out that there are several legal guarantees and some effectiveness of these guarantees, but it still does not offer full access to teaching-learning in accordance with current legislation.
