  ABSTRACT: Human development encompasses a relationship between genetics and environment factors including affective, social, cognitive and motor development. Physical activity can reduce the risk of several diseases also stimulating health promotion, feelings expression, formation of critical awareness, autonomy development, motivation for study and others. In case of deaf students, physical education also has other benefits, including social inclusion. Many challenges need to be overcome on adapted physical education for deaf students such as the lack of bilingual teachers and also the lack of specific signs of some important words for physical education. Herein we reviewed the benefits of physical activity for deaf children, highlighting some adaptations for helping on teaching and learning and development of this public.
