This article aims to identify the importance of Assistive Technology in Deaf Education in an educational institution of the Federal Network of Vocational and Technological Education. This is a case study, with bibliographic research and interview with the application of a questionnaire to four sectors of the institution: management, teaching, deaf students and one Sign Language Translator/Interpreter. The results indicate that, despite the diffusion and popularization of social media, there are differences in the respondents’ understanding of Assistive Technology (AT), which reflects the lack of effectiveness between what management perceives to be done in favor of Deaf students through the use of AT, what the teacher believes he is doing for these students and what the sign language translator and interpreter and Deaf students experience in the classroom.
