It addresses imperfections with regard to multiple political (neglect), social and family obstacles, and highlights the LIBRAS (Brazilian Sign Language) tool as a support for functional and dynamic use of the language. And it also presents technological tools as a means of learning for the deaf, as they can aid in the teaching process.
