Inclusion of the deaf: an integrative review of scientific literature

The aim was to conduct an integrative review of national scientific literature on the inclusion of the deaf. Through searches of the LILACS, SciELO and PePSIC between 2005 and 2011 seven articles were retrieved and analyzed. It can be noticed that, despite the efforts, the inclusion of deaf people in school settings has not occurred satisfactorily, with unprepared educators. The predominant reductionist views that prioritize the supply of places and physical resources such as unique elements for inclusion, disregarding approaches that cover its protagonists, family, health and education professionals. It is necessary that the discussion on the inclusion of deaf people not be limited to educational environments.
