This research aimed to describe the process of inclusion of students with disabilities in Physical Education classes in the city of Araucária (PR), from the perspective of teachers. Qualitative study, in which ten elementary school teachers were evaluated. Data collection took place in two stages: first, the Municipal Department of Education was asked to provide data referring to the general panorama of students in the public school system. Then, interviews were conducted with Physical Education teachers from municipal public schools. Thereby, the results show that most teachers do not have specific training in Physical Education, which makes their performance difficult, in addition to the lack of materials in schools. It was observed that the included students are assisted by support professionals, whose function is to mediate the teaching-learning process together with the regent teacher. Further, it is noteworthy that students with disabilities actively participate in Physical Education classes and have a good social relationship with their peers. Thus, the inclusion of students with disabilities in Physical Education classes has been carried out through the positive attitude of the teacher, who performs activities based on an inclusive perspective and promotes interaction among students. It is concluded that the inclusion of students with disabilities in Physical Education classes, depends on the effort of all those involved and, in the town of Araucária, this process has been developing and has become increasingly natural.
