FUTSAL FOR PEOPLE WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES: CHALLENGES AND POSSIBILITIES

Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the challenges and possibilities that emerged in the implementation of a futsal program for adults with Intellectual Disabilities (ID). Based on a game representation (decision tree) and teaching tactical perspectives, the program was permeated with obstacles and challenges related to the teaching strategies used to contribute to the understanding of the concepts, heuristics and actions of the game (present in the decision tree and worked on from reduced games and formal games) requiring methodological adjustments throughout the program, which came to contribute to the development of students in the context of the game.
