With the increase of deaf students in higher education, this theoretical article proposes reflection about the performance of the teaching staff in the University, bringing a brief overview of the Federal University of Sergipe (UFS). We understand that the education for deaf students must be in line with the Brazilian Law No. 10.436/2002 and Decree No. 5.626/2005, recognizing Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) as the first language of the deaf. However, we have identified that the education that has been offered in the form of inclusion, specifically in the UFS, has not fully addressed the peculiarities of the teaching-learning of the deaf, since teachers are unaware of the specifics of deafness. methodologies are aimed at the non-deaf majority, and initial and continuing teacher education is still fragile. Therefore, we need to overcome these learning and participation barriers for the deaf in higher education, thus contributing to full inclusion.
