Abstract

There is, then, the need for an action that might enable the development of language and social skills of these individuals. The Adhara Institute (a nonprofit organization) aims to provide a place of inclusion, information and coexistence to allow these individuals to develop social and language skills in an environment in which the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) is the primary means of communication in a meaningful Meaning Learning Theory perspective. This work shows how this work is developed, allowing the development of these individuals in an environment full of social significance and challenges to be overcome by the users through planned activities seeking meaningful learning. The forms of work and results will be shown. This is a work that can be followed by other groups that are worried about this population.
