摘要：The paper discusses the issue of communication with the deaf when included in mainstream education. The research investigated a model mainstream school in a city in the state of Paraná Brazil. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with hearing students.

The research concluded that the adoption of Brazilian Sign Language as the first language of deaf people would be an important step to improve school education conditions for these people.
