Filhos surdos e pais ouvintes: desafios e possibilidades nos processos comunicativos e interacionais à luz da abordagem sociointeracionista

Abstract

Considering that most deaf subjects are born in hearing homes and that, consequently, it demands that the family adopt LIBRAS as a mechanism to establish communication with this subject, the present study addresses the relationship between deaf children and hearing parents from the sociointeractionist point of view, with the aim of identifying the challenges and possibilities that permeate such a relationship. The bibliographic research was developed in a qualitative and exploratory way. The theoretical contribution was based on books, theses, dissertations and scientific journals, which underwent a careful selection. The theoretical basis of the research is composed, among others, by the following authors: Goldfeld; Skliar; Frames; Wild; Dalcin; Silva; Cappellini and Rego. The research reveals that there is a lack of dialogue between deaf children and hearing parents and this gap in communication, combined with the lack of a common language, constitutes the challenges faced by them in the family context. In addition, the results demonstrate that there are possibilities in the communicative and interactional process between these subjects, for this, it is necessary that the parents see deafness from a sociocultural perspective and that they aim at the insertion of the deaf subject in the deaf community so that they establish a relationship with their peers, as well as trying to learn sign language, because when there is a language capable of mediating the relationship between deaf children and their parents in the domestic environment, the subject's higher functions present a more complete development and, therefore, the family relationship improves
