Recognized as a language, the Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS) has its writing characterization and therefore must be considered in deaf education so that they can acquire their first language in written form and this could enable the empowerment that allows communication among their peers and the listener community skilled in LIBRAS. The purpose of this study includes: to analyze the conceptions about sign writing in the process of LIBRAS teaching together with sign writing; to characterize the participants of the research, to analyze conceptions of the education professionals that work with deaf students, to focus on the relevance of sign writing for deaf bilingualism and to develop a proposal for the Libras teaching and learning process. The methodology involved teachers and was developed in three periods: a semi-structured questionnaire application (with the purpose to know the participants and investigate the knowledge they have in LIBRAS), to develop a LIBRAS teaching program; the application of a semi-structured questionnaire (to register the opinion of participants about sign writing focused during the classes).The process of data analyses was quantitative ( (evaluation of research contents that were given to professionals that work with deaf student and that communicate using LIBRAS) and qualitative (skimming of data from questionnaires that allowed synthesis of teachers answers). The analysis showed that bilingualism is important at schools. Furthermore, it pointed out a clear necessity to identity the deaf community and its right to a learning process qualitatively adequate to its potentialities. With the purpose of providing a tool, from the results of this research, we could develop the final product, that is a bilingual manual portuguese - LIBRAS that could be used as a mini-dictionary. Thus, the present study aims not only to tangent the subject matter, but to bring it to the academic discussion to strengthen the already studied topic about the importance of using Sign Writing as a first language acquisition method for the deaf student in bilingual education.
