According to data collected by IBGE, in 2010, it was registered that, in Campina Grande / PB, more than 20 thousand people have some type of hearing impairment. Looking to analyze the posture of society in the face of the challenges faced by the deaf community in this municipality, this research aims to investigate the current legislation on accessibility and the extent to which public agencies have been shaping to provide a more inclusive service to the deaf. In this perspective, the study aimed to understand the concept of development linked to the accessibility of deaf people to public services through the Brazilian Sign Language-Libras. Then, he outlined the assessments that the deaf community experiences in public agencies located in the municipality under analysis. For this purpose, the inductive method was used, using literary works, especially national legislation as a bibliographic research to understand the phenomena perpetrated here. The approach was developed through qualitative and quantitative research. As for the objectives, the research was based on exploratory research. The focus group was the research technique used to collect the necessary information. The free interview was carried out with the presence of some members of the deaf community who reported their experiences using public services provided in the city of Campina Grande / PB. In the speeches of the participants, it was demonstrated that the accessibility laws are being ignored by the Campinas authorities, who deny the deaf the inclusion of accessible access to information by the Brazilian Sign Language, affronting the Brazilian legislative system.
