title: Visual stimuli and written production of deaf signers.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To verify the interference of visual stimuli in written production of deaf signers with no complaints regarding reading and writing.
  
  
  METHODS
  The research group consisted of 12 students with education between the 4th and 5th grade of elementary school, with severe or profound sensorineural hearing loss, users of LIBRAS and with alphabetical writing level. The evaluation was performed with pictures in a logical sequence and an action picture. The analysis used the communicative competence criteria.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There were no differences in the writing production of the subjects for both stimuli. In all texts there was no title and punctuation, verbs were in the infinitive mode, there was lack of cohesive links and inclusion of created words.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The different visual stimuli did not affect the production of texts.
