Resumen

The present paper is focused on the study of accessibility in ships for deaf people, its disadvantages and possible improvements to be implemented. In the first part of this work, we focus on the evolution of disability, the definition of accessibility and the history of deaf people. In the second part, we will see at first different definitions in order to understand in one way or another, more about the deaf community, studying the diversity and the different hearing disabilities that exist and the way in which these users communicate the most, which is in sign language. On the other hand, we expose the characteristics of the ship that we have chosen as a reference to carry out this study. We base ourselves on different regulations on accessibility and rights for users with disabilities.
