Abstract

This study explores the implementation of adaptive physical education through futsal for children with mild intellectual disabilities at SLB C Sumbersari, Bandung. These children often face difficulties in participating in regular physical education due to cognitive and physical limitations. Adaptive physical education aims to tailor activities to individual abilities, enabling optimal participation. The study investigates how futsal can be modified to meet the needs of children with special needs. A descriptive qualitative methodwas used, with data collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis. Participants included physical education teachers and students aged 11–17 years with mild intellectual disabilities. Findings show that futsal can be effectively played by these children when adjustments are made to the rules, duration, number of players, and by using visual and verbal aids. Key challenges include limited facilities, varying individual abilities, and a lack of teacher training. Solutions implemented include renting futsal courts and providing specialised training for teachers. In conclusion, adaptive futsal has a positive impact on the physical and social development of students. It also supports their participation in competitive events such as O2SN-PDBK and the Special Olympics, highlighting the importance of inclusive and structured physical education for children with intellectual disabilities
