Experiências compartilhadas sobre a surdocegueira: análise de aspectos familiares e educacionais

Abstract

The present work seeks to analyze narratives that appear in the book Deafblindness: overcoming challenges and building possibilities (FALKOSKI; MAIA, 2021). For this, social/family and educational aspects identified in the participants' statements are considered. In this way, the objective is to provide reflections on aspects of the family and educational context that are related to deafblind subjects, which can contribute to the area that needs to be deepened. This is a qualitative research that, among other studies, was based on Araújo (2019), Almeida (2010), Maia (2004) and Brasil (1988). It also mentions the challenges produced by deafblindness, taking into account the educational and family aspects and reflects on the need to disseminate knowledge about narratives. Finally, the research intends to be a source of knowledge with its own characteristics to serve as an instrument of inspiration for teaching, with the aim of clarifying the difficulties experienced in the daily life of the deaf-blind person in the school/family environment. The research results show that despite some achievements being visualized, there are still many challenges faced by the deafblind, making evident the overprotection of the family, the unpreparedness of the educational network to actually guarantee an inclusive education.
