Due to Deaf community’s specific traits, both perspectives seem to be mutually exclusive, since the protection of their rights as disabled people lead to implement policies that compromise their acces to Deaf culture and sign language.

En Uruguay, las leyes y decretos que tratan sobre los sordos o sobre la lengua de señas uruguaya se mueven entre dos grandes perspectivas: por un lado, el reconocimiento de los sordos como hablantes de lengua de señas; por otro, la inclusión de los sordos como un grupo más dentro de lo que usualmente se considera discapacidad. Debido a las particularidades de la comunidad sorda, ambas posturas parecen excluirse mutuamente, ya que la protección de sus derechos como discapacitados lleva a instrumentar políticas que acaban lesionando su acceso a la cultura sorda y a la lengua de señas. Esto podría llevar a que las nuevas generaciones no se integren a la comunidad, comprometiendo su existencia a largo plazo.
