This master's dissertation presents a set of recommendations to support interface designers when their Information and Communication Technology (ICT) projects dedicated to alphabetization of deaf children. Part of these recommendations described here was based on specifications recommended by W3C/WAI that are applicable to systems for deaf users. The W3C/WAI proposes guidelines for accessibility to meet all different disability types [W3C, 2008]. Therefore in these guidelines were filtered and selected only those that apply to systems for deaf users, and they were justified for use in information systems literacy for education of deaf children. Another set of recommendations was based on issues identified in interviewing with teachers of deaf children, for that purpose were applied MEDS techniques [Nicolaci-da-Costa et al.2004] in order to raise important questions regarding to special needs for teachers and mainly for deaf children. Significant part of these recommendations was proposed with basis on the application of the Inspection Semiotics Methods - ISM [de Souza et al, 2006] where were analyzed the aspects of metacommunication from the designers to the users, aiming to identify potential disruptions of communication that might arise in the user-system interaction. The recommendations proposed in this dissertation form a framework, since they represent a first step to present concretes resources that support the development of ICT designs for deaf children. The relevance of this issue is because of deaf children have special needs for both literacy, how to interact with educational systems. It is therefore important that systems designers who develop teaching materials to support literacy with sign language, taking into account the special needs of this audience. For this purpose, this paper investigates, develops and presents a set of justified recommendations for projects to support ICT literacy of deaf children, based on a multidisciplinary research work represents a first step in the direction of providing resources that support the development ICT literacy for deaf children. To validate the recommendations developed a system for literacy of deaf children all based on the recommendations. Moreover, the recommendations were used by a group of students at UFMG 'Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computing Systems' in a competition assessment system, where students have used the recommendations proposed in this dissertation to assess the functionality of a collaborative system for the deaf to verify the communication and collaboration with other users and interaction interfaces.
