In this paper, we discuss the processes of accessibility and inclusion for deafblind students, focusing on pedagogical practices, modes of communication, and the use of assistive technologies. The analyses are part of a study conducted in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, aimed at understanding the strategies employed by education professionals to promote the inclusion of these students. The objective of the study was to investigate how professionals have developed accessibility and inclusion practices and how assistive technology has been utilised in the school context. The theoretical-methodological design of the study was qualitative, involving semi-structured interviews with educators from three municipalities in Minas Gerais State - Belo Horizonte, Betim, and Uberaba - where deafblind students were identified. The results reflect the diversity of experiences observed across different educational networks, highlighting the particularities of the students, the training of professionals, and the challenges related to communication and the use of assistive technology.
Keywords: Deafblind students. Accessibility. Assistive technology. Teaching practices.
