Exclusion in Physical Education classes: factors associated with participation of students with disabilities

The study aims to analyze the factors related to the exclusion of disabled students in physical education classes. The study involved the participation of three students (between 12 and 21 years) with visual or physical disabilities. We used a semi-structured interview and field records as measuring instruments. The interviews followed a structured schedule with issues related to the subjective perception of exclusion for students with disabilities. For these, the exclusion is associated with a lack of adaptation classes, social isolation and feelings of inferiority. These three factors are presented in association and joint.
