This work aims to reflect on the adaptation process in teacher mediation to create meaningful experiences for students in physical education teaching. The research is based on pedagogical experience and seeks to expand the possibilities of specific mediation, starting from inclusive education and promoting learning. Data collection will be carried out with students from the 1st and 3rd years of elementary school, in individual classes of 40 minutes, twice a week. The research is based on the concepts of Mediated Learning Experience, according to Feuerstein’s theory. It is a pedagogical research carried out with a group of 07 students, diagnosed with ASD, enrolled in regular classes, at a municipal school in Formosa/GO; it aims to reflect on the dynamic process of adaptation of teacher mediation throughout the dialogical interaction between the teacher and each of the participants. The choice of students with ASD is due to the difficulties faced by the school and teachers to meet their needs and particularities, considering the challenges of the physical, material, and human structure of Brazilian public schools.
