Summary: The research, developed within the scope of the Professional Postgraduate Program in Education at the Federal University of Espírito Santo, aims to deepen the understanding of the role assumed by technology in the process of written language acquisition by deaf children. The study investigates the contribution of digital technologies in the educational context, thereby creating inclusive and accessible spaces for all students. The theoretical foundation of this work is based on the Bakhtinian conception of language, which understands language as a social, enunciative, and discursive phenomenon. From a methodological standpoint, the research was developed under a bibliographic approach, following the guidelines of Moreira and Caleffe (2008). The investigation is based on the assumption that sign language is simultaneously enunciative and discursive, which allows deaf children to appropriate written language by incorporating technologies into this process, thus potentially making this journey more dynamic and inclusive. Additionally, an analysis of digital applications and pedagogical activities directed at deaf children who are involved in the written language literacy process is conducted, grounded in the principles of the Bakhtinian conception of language. It concludes that by promoting the integration of technologies with sign language, it is possible to create a more accessible and efficient environment for the learning of written language by deaf children. Thus, the appropriate use of digital resources, combined with Bakhtin's theoretical perspective, broadens the possibilities for interaction and learning, favoring the full participation of deaf children in the literacy process.
