SUMMARY:

This dissertation presents an autobiographical account written by a post-lingually deafblind researcher who acquired deafblindness after having established Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) as his first language. The narrative was initially produced in Libras and subsequently translated into written Portuguese as a second language (L2). The study examines experiences from childhood through higher education, emphasizing the researcher’s educational, academic, and professional trajectory. The investigation addresses the following research question: How can the knowledge derived from the experience of a deafblind person inspire the work and education of other deafblind people? The general objective is to discuss the educational and professional experiences of a deafblind person through autobiographical writing. Specifically, the study seeks to present the potential of deafblind people and their leading role in constructing their own histories; analyze the 2023 Global Report of the World Federation of the Deafblind (WFDB) from the researcher’s perspective; discuss continuing education for teachers who work with deafblind students in the Federal District State Department of Education (SEEDF); and reflect on the participation of deafblind people in schools, universities, and society. Methodologically, this is a qualitative study with an autobiographical and narrative approach and a descriptive and reflective character. It is based on an analysis of the researcher’s experiences as a deafblind student, from Basic Education through higher education, and as a teacher educator of professionals working in inclusive education. The narratives highlight the importance of accessibility, the work of guide-interpreters, family and institutional support, assistive technologies, and continuing professional education in ensuring learning, autonomy, and social participation for deafblind people
