The research will be qualitative in nature, bibliographic and documentary, and the corpus of the investigation includes institutional and national documents and publications that deal with the inclusion of people with hearing impairments and deaf people in Professional and Technological Education (EPT). We will carry out this analysis through a critical examination of normative indicators and educational devices, such as the notices and institutional development plans of the last five years. Our hypothesis is that, even guaranteeing the constitutional right of access to professional and technological education, through legal indicators of vacancy reservation and affirmative actions aimed at people with disabilities (PwDs), educational devices and teaching methodologies are still show as an impediment to the permanence of PwDs in that modality, here referring to people with hearing impairments and deaf people. The Educational Product proposed to promote accessibility is a Video containing the Library User Guide translated from Portuguese to LIBRAS, aimed at people with hearing impairments (PwDs) and deaf people both within and outside the institution. In the final considerations, based on the research results, the contributions of this work to increase the institutional debate about the promotion of equality, respect, social justice, equity of opportunities and humanized treatment for people with deafness are presented.
