A UTILIZAÇÃO DOS JOGOS E BRINCADEIRAS PARA CRIANÇAS COM DEFICIÊNCIA NA EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA ESCOLAR

Abstract

The present study aims to review the literature on games and games used in school physical education for the mental, motor and social development of students with disabilities and their inclusion in the school and social environment. This is a study developed by qualitative research with literature review. To this end, research and searches were carried out in printed and digital works in the Portuguese language in databases such as Scielo and LILACS. The results indicate that school physical education, by favoring interaction, respect for diversity and the integral development of students, can effectively contribute to promoting school inclusion, confronting prejudice and exclusion, and contributing to the formation of a society fairer and more equitable. The discussion highlights that school physical education, through playful activities adapted to individual needs, contributes to the inclusion of all children, promoting respect for differences and the construction of fairer and more equitable social relationships. The use of games and games in school physical education is a powerful strategy for the inclusion of children with disabilities, contributing to their physical, social and emotional development. It is crucial that schools and education systems recognize and support the importance of these practices by providing adequate resources and training for educators.
