The purpose of the study was to delve into the training
of an in-service Physical Education Teachers (PET) in
schools where students with a physical disability attend,
their concerns and needs, as well as the relationship with
other professionals. The participants were 57 in-service
teachers and 3 physiotherapists (PT). The data were gathered
from questionnaires from all the teachers and an interview
of 8 PET and 3 PT. The results indicate they need
to improve their training, and, in varying degrees, in such
areas as certain sports, learning tasks and curriculum adaptations.
The study reveals PT ensure that exercises are
conducted which benefit students with disability and not
those types which are designed for non-disabled students.
Furthermore, teachers’ perception of a lack of training results
in feeling unable to deal with students with disability,
and becoming dependent on the PT.
