The objective of this paper is to bring reflections on the constitution of the culture and identity of deaf people with late acquisition of Libras in the school context, verifying sociocultural, pedagogical and interdisciplinary actions that occur in the teaching and learning process of these students. Goldfeld, Quadros and Karnopp, Gesser, Rojo and Perlin, among other authors, support the theoretical discussions. The Projetos Políticos Pedagógicos of the investigated schools were studied, and literacy actions proposed for deaf children. It was also confirmed the relationship between late acquisition of sign language and school difficulties among the deaf students investigated, as well as the need to use Libras as a language of communication and interaction between professionals and other students of these schools.porAcesso AbertoLibrasLíngua e identidadeInclusão do surdoLetramento de surdosLanguage and identityDeaf inclusionDeaf literacyArtigo10.5216/rs.v4.58737
