Abstract

This report describes the activities carried out during the academic internship period, which ran from September 24th to November 30th, 2025, as a requirement for the completion of the Bachelor's Degree in Mozambican Sign Language (LSM), taught by the Faculty of Education (FACED), of Eduardo Mondlane University (UEM), located in the city of Maputo.

Early childhood education is a crucial phase in children's development, as it is during this period that they begin to build their worldview and develop fundamental skills for their development. However, for deaf children with intellectual disabilities, this process can be more challenging due to communication barriers. In this context, the analysis of the learning of deaf students with intellectual disabilities in preschool, speaking specifically of the case of Special Education School No. 1, is a topic of great relevance, as it allows us to understand to what extent intellectual disability affects deaf students in the preschool context. It can still be observed to what extent it can hinder the development of intelligence, as children demonstrate considerable difficulty in reasoning and memorizing content.
