INCLUSIVE SPORTS AND BEST PRACTICES
Abstract
This study presents a basketball-based motor program to promote school inclusion of students with Special Educational Needs (SEN). The project involved 30 students aged 11 to 13 in 30 afternoon sessions. Pre- and post-intervention questionnaires and motor tests revealed average improvements of 20% in attention, collaboration, self-esteem, and space-time organization. The program encouraged well-being and active participation in the educational context.
