Physical Education as a Strategy for Inclusion

Description:

According to the United Nations, every student with a disability should have access to education in inclusive schools. This represents a significant challenge to teachers, schools principals and policy makers from all regions of the world. We believe that physical education, a discipline with a history of exclusion, may actually be a mean to promote the participation and learning of those students when the teachers change the strategies of their classes, assuming inclusion as a priority.
