PALMA, Luciana Erina  y  MANTA, Sofia Wolker. Alunos com deficiência física: a compreensão dos professores de educação física sobre a acessibilidade nos espaços de prática para as aulas. Educação. Santa Maria [online]. 2010, vol.35, n.02, pp.303-314. ISSN 1984-6444.

Within the scope of Educational Policies, a series of transformations has been occurring since the 80s and 90s regarding the inclusion of students with disabilities in the regular school system. The study aimed to analyze both the understanding of physical education teachers in the Initial Series about the participation of students with disabilities in physical education classes and accessibility of the spaces for practice. The teachers participating in the study are from a regular Public School system of Rio Grande do Sul. The instrument used for data collection was a semi-structured interview with a pre-established script to physical education teachers and teachers of Initial Series who taught classes with the inclusion of students with Disabilities. Through the analysis of data from the interviews with the teachers it was identified that the spaces for the practice of physical education classes did not have access or accessibility to ensure the safety and independence for students with physical disabilities (FD), but these students did not fail to participate in physical education classes. One can still see the attitudinal barriers that students with FD face in everyday school, and it urgently needs to be removed so that the inclusion of these students takes place in a participatory manner and free from prejudices. Finally, it is important from a joint action with the whole school community, spaces are becoming increasingly available for use by a wider range of people.
