Paralympic Sport At School: A Literature Review

Paralympic sport is the main means for disseminating disability sport, also present at school. The term Paralympic Education includes educational activities related to that movement. The main forms found were the Paralympic School Day (PSD) in Europe and Physical Education classes in Brazil. After a bibliographical review of original articles, changes were found in general aspects related to the inclusion of students with disabilities in Physical Education classes. The subject still lacks studies and proposals appropriate to the cultural context for fostering paralympic sport in the academic and school spheres.211536
