SignWriting; Web System; Inclusion; Deaf.
In Brazil, according to IBGE data, 5% of the Brazilian population have a hearing loss, however, there are still many educational barriers faced by them. The Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) is the way in which the deaf express themselves and communicate in a natural way in the country and because they are inserted in a society based on the hearing language, the acquisition of knowledge through reading and writing is something difficult to access since there are few ways available for such purposes in their mother tongue, in addition, the deaf have gaps in the domain of Portuguese precisely because this language is based on being a hearing person. In this way, the present work, through a qualitative-interpretative approach and using the Design Science Research (DSR) method, aims to develop a web system to provide the writing of signs in SignWriting, which is a widely spread format in Brazil and world, to provide the deaf person with an environment in which they can write in a writing system anchored in their mother tongue.
