Summary
The duty of governments is to enable equal opportunities for all people. In 2015, the Brazilian government normalized equal opportunities with the institution of the Brazilian Law on Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities. This law deals with the legal requirement of eliminating barriers in communications and information that make it difficult or impossible for people who have deficiencies. The promulgation of Law Decree No 5626 of December 22, 2005, can be considered the cause of this increase in the number of listeners in the learning of the Brazilian Sign Language—LIBRAS (Brasil, 2005). The art 3 of this decree says “that Libras should be inserted as a compulsory curricular subject in teacher training courses for the teaching profession, at the intermediate and higher levels, and in Speech-Language Pathology courses, public and private educational institutions, federal education system and the education systems of the States, Federal District and municipalities”
