A pessoa surda: aspectos de desenvolvimento/ aprendizagem e contextos de educação bilingue

Abstract: Deaf people form one of the most misunderstood minority groups in the world. They exist in every country, have developed their own language, community and culture but have had great difficulty in gaining recognition and appropriate provision. In this paper, the goals for deaf people are set out in terms of the understanding of their language and community and data is drawn from an international study of 17 countries in europe in order to provide insight into the views of deaf people. The conclusions are stark: deaf people learn their language too late in education (and not at home) have few situations in which to use it and are limited in their attempts to contribute to society by the lack of professional understanding and language competence. This is likely to have a major impact on community life. It has become clear that our social model of deaf service needs to listen much more to deaf people and respond more effectively
