In this research, our study premise is to investigate situations of disrespect regarding the recognition and provision of opportunities for deaf students in an inclusive manner, ensuring accessibility in higher education at the Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES). Our foundation is primarily based on the guarantee of educational rights, aligned with the legal frameworks established in the 1988 Federal Constitution, in support of the inclusion of deaf students at UFES. One of the theoretical frameworks we draw upon is Axel Honneth’s “Theory of Recognition,” as discussed by Will Kymlicka and other philosophers, particularly in relation to the mutual understanding of deaf students. We explore how the act of educating these learners functions within academic settings and how our cultural traditions interpret and engage with the culture of these individuals. This includes examining the various forms of adaptation necessary to ensure genuine equity and respect for their differences and distinct cultures. The reflections we present allow us to identify the situations that deaf students have experienced, or continue to experience, throughout their educational journey at UFES. These insights help us to rethink how these individuals should be recognized, understood, and supported, as guaranteed by law, from an equity-based perspective. This encompasses their right to remain in academic spaces during their education and specialization. From this, we analyze whether the social and political conditions are genuinely prepared and committed to embracing and supporting this population. Despite being a minority, it is essential that deaf students are recognized linguistically and socially valued in a dignified way, thereby ensuring their academic rights are upheld.
