GOES, Maria Cecília Rafael de. The educational experience in regular school and deaf child's subjectivity. Temas psicol. [online]. 2000, vol.8, n.1, pp. 45-54. ISSN 1413-389X.

This paper approaches the issue of social inclusion in the context of deafness and explores the school experience as an important condition for the constitution of subjectivity. The study has been focused on two deaf students, enrolled in regular first grade classes. The findings, derived from observations and interviews, have shown that the educational project of the schools under study have not encompassed differentiated initiatives for a deaf student, and have delegated a reasonable part of their duties to the speech therapy sector. As a result, the children have been led to see themselves: as patient-students (getting more education in the clinic than in the school), as incompetent interlocutors (unilateral adjustment in dialogues, in essence) and as deficient learners (they have dropped school, without having learned neither reading nor writing)

Keywords : mainstream; subjectivity; deafness.
