In daily life, people interact each other with the purpose to satisfy different activities such as leisure, health or security. These interactions are easily achieved due to the use of a common language that allows them to express ideas, needs and problems, either in written or oral form. However, this simplicity is not accessible for everyone if we also consider linguistic minorities and people with some disability, which does not allows them to listen, to talk or even read. In this article we propose a modular architecture based on scenarios of interaction which seeks to improve the integration between people with and without disability, especially those who are hard of hearing or Deaf, and also they are users of some Sign Language. Thus, our proposal defines a modular architecture where each modules performs a concrete task, and where the concept of scenarios becomes important to represent the idea that interactions occurring in everyday life are short episodic with different complexity. We assume that it is possible to acquire and process Sign Language from one of the modules independently of the architecture, and we concentrate our efforts to explain the use of scenarios like small abstractions that allows users of sign language interact with a system to create a more inclusive society.
