A acessibilidade do surdo nas unidades básicas de saúde na cidade de Parintins Amazonas

Abstract

Hearing impairment is declared as the second disability that affects the population the most, and we know that deaf people sporadically have the presence of an interpreter when looking for care at the Basic Health Units. In view of this, the principal objective is to verify the level of understanding between the deaf person and the professional in the UBS. And for the development was used of the mixed methodology of descriptive exploratory character. As an instrument was used an interview script with UBS professionals and the deaf. The structure is organized into topics that bring in their referential authors great contributions for the accessibility of the deaf and that give us grounding in discussing the great difficulty of professionals and the deaf in trying to establish communication. The work shows what has already been foreseen, that there is in fact no accessibility for the deaf at the Parintins UBS, and it is concluded that the deaf are the only ones who seek their inclusion, learning other forms of communication, such as writing.
