The data obtained were systematized, allowing content analysis and mapping of management processes. The main results indicate the commitment of the IFs to make possible the accessibility and inclusion of deaf students, being identified in the process mapping actions aimed at institutional disclosure, admission and permanence of deaf students, however, they are still isolated and punctual actions. Regarding the needs of deaf students was realized the importance of recognizing and accepting their cultural and linguistic differences, which are mainly summarized in the forms of communication and in the use of Libras.
