SUMMARY:

This research addresses the relationship between assistive technology, inclusive education, and employability of students with disabilities, with emphasis on communication mediation for deaf students in the context of the Federal Institute of Rondônia (IFRO) – Porto Velho Calama Campus. It is based on the problem that, despite advances in inclusive education policies, pedagogical and communicational barriers still hinder the full participation of these students, especially in technical disciplines in the field of Information Technology, compromising their academic training and insertion into the labor market. In this context, the main objective is to analyze the potential of the assistive technology Quirotech as a communication mediation tool in the teaching-learning process, aiming to enhance autonomy, participation, and employability conditions for students with disabilities. The study is justified by the need to bridge the gap between inclusive education policies and their effective implementation in educational practice, as well as by the importance of developing technological solutions that promote educational equity and decent work. The relevance of this research lies in the articulation between inclusive education, human rights, and technological innovation, particularly within the context of professional and technological education in the Amazon region. Methodologically, this is an applied qualitative research, developed through bibliographic review, documentary analysis, and investigation of the institutional context, combined with the development of a technical-technological product. As a result, the Quirotech device is proposed, based on tactile feedback, designed to reduce communication barriers and complement pedagogical mediation, contributing to the inclusion and professional training of deaf students.
