This study aimed to present the results of a didactic-methodological experience designed to foster an inclusive and interactive environment at the EMTI Domingos Sávio Full-Time Municipal School, located in Baturité-Ceará, Brazil. To achieve this, an Interactive and Inclusive Periodic Table in Libras (TPIIL) was utilized, providing virtual access to information about all 118 chemical elements via QR codes. The methodological framework employed in this study was grounded in action research with an exploratory and qualitative approach, seeking to understand and analyze student acceptance of the proposed periodic table. The results highlight students’ positive perceptions of the inclusive strategy, emphasizing the importance of valuing Brazilian Sign Language. Based on the findings of this research, it becomes evident that this study makes a significant contribution to improving the learning of science content, fostering collaboration and integration between deaf and hearing students, valuing Brazilian Sign Language, and promoting inclusion and accessibility within the educational environment.
