Abstract
The training of teachers in the inclusive classroom in attention to children with hearing disabilities is important for an educational system in equal conditions. The User-Centered Design (UCD) methodology and the System test Usability Scale (SUS) provided perception data to support teacher training in the inclusive classroom, especially for children with hearing impairment. The test (SUS) was applied to 12 teachers, the result of the study indicates that the usability of all the tools is above the standards (72.5), equivalent to a very good rating. The tool fostered acceptance by teachers for inclusive classroom training, in addition to needing a teacher training program where children with disabilities and learning disorders are cared for.
