Resumo(s)
A surdocegueira é uma condição somatória de uma ausência, ou de uma redução ou
de uma baixa das capacidades auditivas e visuais. Neste contexto, a pesssoa surdocega
enfrenta limitações de acesso e de conhecimento do ambiente em redor e dificuldades
de comunicação com a família, amigos e sociedade, resultando no isolamento.
Verificando-se a omissão do número de pessoas surdocegas em Portugal, de dados
descritivos sobre o percurso académico destas pessoas em conjunto com as suas práticas
comunicativas, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar a condição
surdocegueira junto com as mudanças e adaptações cerebrais, descrever os sistemas
linguísticos e comunicativos disponíveis para as pessoas surdocegas comunicarem e
terem acesso à informação e explorar as experiências comunicativas dos indivíduos
adultos surdocegos em Portugal.
O estudo das práticas comunicativas das pessoas surdocegas em Portugal baseou-se
na criação e aplicação de um questionário a 15 adultos surdocegos portugueses (de norte
a sul do país) e através de uma análise quantitativa das respostas e qualitativa na
discussão.
Concluiu-se que a surdocegueira parece ser predominantemente, em Portugal, numa
condição pós-linguística após uma surdez num estádio infantil. A língua gestual parece
ser o sistema linguístico predominante na comunicação com a adaptação para a
modalidade tátil, sendo no entanto verificado que o português escrito é o sistema
utilizado para comunicar com a população ouvinte ou não gestuante. A tecnologia mais
utilizada é o tablet, talvez derivado do desconhecimento de outras tecnologias existentes
ou derivado da falta de recursos para adquirir outro tipo de tecnologia ou de aprender
outro sistema comunicativo mais adequado.
The deafblindness is a sum condition of the absence or low or reduction of hearing and visual modalities. In this context, the deafblind person faces limited access and knowledge of the world environment and difficulties on communicating with the family, friends and society, resulting in isolation. Observing an omission of number of people with deafblindness in Portugal, of descriptive data about their academic course together with their communication practices, this dissertation aims to present deafblindness condition along with its brain cross modal plasticity, to describe the linguistic and the communicative systems available for deafblind people that will provide access to world information and to communication, and to explore the communicative practicesof deafblind Portuguese adults. The exploration study of communicative practices was based on the development and application of a questionnaire to 15 Portuguese deafblind adults (from the north to the south of the country) and was analysed through a quantitative analysis of the answers and qualitative observations in the discussion. The results demonstrate that in Portugal the deafblindness seems to be post linguistics condition, all the participants show a previous deafness condition in the childhood. Sign language seems to be the predominant language system to communicate and its adaptation to tactile modality is current. However, writing Portuguese seems to be also frequently used by the deafblind people to communicate with hearing people and non-signers. The most widely used technology is the tablet, perhaps derived from the lack of information, or derived from the privation of monetary resources to acquire other technologies or to learn another communicative system as braille.
