Research on social skills (Habilidades sociais -HS) of students with disabilities still shows itself timidly in the context of Physical Education. The objective of this work is to know what students with physical disabilities think about their HS and their colleagues and about their interpersonal relationship in Physical Education classes. Five students with physical disabilities who did not use a wheelchair, aged 11 to 15 years, from elementary school II, from the 6th to the 9th grade, from five municipal schools in Santarém-Pará participated in this study. For data collection, a semi-structured interview was used. For data analysis, the Collective Subject Discourse technique was used. The results showed that participants recognize and understand their HS and their peers and conclude that their peers still have attitudes of discrimination and exclusion due to their physical condition. However, they realize that HS are present in the context of Physical Education classes and favor of the inclusive context.
