Students with disability’s perceptions about inclusion in Physical Education classes: a case study

The study aims to investigate the inclusion from the perspective of disabled students within the context of physical education classes. Participants were three female students between 12 and 21 years with physical disabilities or visual. The study used semi-structured interviews with pre-defined schedule and field records as measuring instruments. Inclusion in the context of physical education classes is linked to three key factors: adaptation, social participation and capacity. These factors act dependent and complementary to building a sense of belonging, acceptance and value within the group.
