SUMMARY:

Introduction: The inclusion of students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the school context has solidified as one of the main challenges of contemporary education, especially regarding pedagogical practice in Physical Education classes. The increasing presence of these students, largely due to improvements and accuracy in diagnoses, along with the difficulties reported by teachers resulting from the lack of initial and ongoing training that contributes to a more inclusive approach, emerge as potentially challenging aspects. In this sense, the importance of promoting studies and research that deepen the understanding of the theme stands out. Objective: To investigate the contributions of the school mediator to the inclusion of students with autism spectrum disorder in physical education classes, understanding how their presence can contribute to the participation of these students, as well as analyzing their strategies and perceptions regarding the challenges faced in physical education classes in an inclusive context. Methodology: This is qualitative social research, whereby the data collection instrument to be used will be the focus group in order to support the educational resource in the form of continuous training for mediators inspired by the principles of participatory research. Expected Results: It is anticipated that the results of this research will significantly contribute to the understanding of the role of the school mediator in promoting the inclusion of students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Physical Education classes. By analyzing the perceptions of the involved professionals and the strategies employed, the investigation may highlight pathways that favor the active participation of autistic students in this context. Additionally, the collected data may support the ongoing training of other mediators in the perspective of physical education and inclusion.
