Six people participatedin the research, 3 men and 3 women, aged between 19 and 44 years, whose hearing loss occurred in the first years of their lives and who used Libras as the main way of communication. The results are discussed within 2 thematic categories: relation professional-deaf patient and promotion of deaf patient autonomy.
