Abstract
The objective of this paper is to discuss the issues surrounding the education of the deaf subject, contributing to the proposals on deaf education. To do this, we start from the concept of deafness as the subjective experience of hearing loss. Through the discussion of two educational proposals (clinical-therapeutic and socio-anthropological) seek to locate the reflection beyond the pathology in search of an education that allows the deaf to formative experience that the school should offer everyone. In this sense, inclusive education and bilingual school for the deaf are discussed. We conclude that public policies that value the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) both in school and in other social spaces would be a way for deaf students had no access to Libras only at school.
