Professional qualification in Adapted Physical Education has been significantly discussed nowadays. Thus, it is important new possibilities for this discussion, such as professional motivation. Therefore, this study aimed to understand motivational aspects of teachers of Adapted Physical Education, under a qualitative and quantitative approach. For this research, we interviewed eight public school teachers, with an average age of 44 years (± 11), and who worked with children with disabilities in Physical Education classes. The results showed that, even with the completion of undergraduate and specialization courses, most are dissatisfied with their education, due to the lack of opportunities. However, most of them are motivated to improve their practice with capacitation courses. With these data, we highlighted the importance of expanding academic and training possibilities for new methodological approaches in the area of ​​adapted school physical activities.
