Percurso cronológico dos registros visuais e táteis para o auxílio da comunidade surdocega: um recorte do período 2012-2022

Abstract

Social interactions are key elements for the development and formation of societies. The networks of relationships provided by them happen through communicative phenomena that involve, above all, language. These resources are capable of favoring the systematization of human thought in different modalities, such as oral-auditory, visuo-spatial or tactile. The storage or retention of this information occurs from memory and also from writing, with the aim of positively boosting the sharing of information, in addition to providing the valuation and subsistence of the language in question. Based on this perspective, this research established as a problem the difficulties that deafblind signers encounter in the learning process and in accessing written records in sign language and Portuguese. Given this panorama, we opted for the use of systematic review, as a method for carrying out searches and investigation of documents from three different databases. Therefore, it was stipulated as a general objective to verify which strategies and resources have been used to help deafblind signers in accessing and learning written records focused on sign languages and Portuguese. As specific: (i) recognize the importance of written records for oral and signed languages; (ii) examine the purpose and functionality of found resources; and (iii) understand the relevance of using and accessing writing for the social and cognitive development of deafblind people. As a result, innovations proposed in the last ten years (2012 to 2022) were identified, based on a bias directed at writing signs. However, those aimed at tactile registers were not found. Both had the purpose of verifying how the communicational accessibility has been presented, in the written modality, directed to the deafblind signers. In this way, it is believed that it is possible to promote this field, so that there are advances, analyzes and reflections, with the aim of giving visibility to this community and rethinking the ways in which strategies have been constructed for the teaching, learning processes and accessibility, in view of the proposed technologies and advances.
