Sumario: This research focuses on the extension project "Pedagogical Practices of Adapted Physical Education for People with Disabilities," developed at the Adapted Physical Education Laboratory of the Physical Education Center at the Federal University of Espírito Santo (LAEFA/CEFD/UFES). This project combines extension, teaching, and research and signals approaches to inclusive practices, aiming to welcome and empower participants with disabilities and autism, expanding the possibilities of academics' knowledge regarding inclusive practices. The theoretical framework for this research is Paulo Freire's assumptions, based on the assumption that students and graduates are in ongoing education, immersed in a historical process that develops from social and cultural experiences, with emancipatory and liberating possibilities in interactions with others. The research's general objective is to understand and problematize the socially involved formative experiences within/with the extension/teaching/research project "Practice of Adapted Physical Education for People with Disabilities" at CEFD/UFES, highlighting its inclusive potential produced in dialogical and problematizing contexts. The specific objectives are to describe and problematize the actions of this project and its articulation with extension guidelines, highlighting dialogic interaction, interdisciplinarity, interprofessionality, and the inseparability of teaching, research, and extension. Furthermore, it seeks to understand and problematize how the formative experiences fostered within the extension project "Pedagogical Practice of Adapted Physical Education for People with Disabilities" are configured, in light of Freire's concepts of humanization, dialogicity, lovingness, autonomy, practice, and social justice. Finally, it seeks to reflect rigorously and critically on the possible contributions, limits, and challenges that permeate the formative experiences produced within/with/by the project under discussion. The methodology adopted is based on the assumptions of a qualitative case study approach. However, the field of investigation is guided by the theoretical and methodological principles of existential action research, configuring a methodological hybridism. Among the analytical methods used, ethnoresearch stands out, with its implication, elaboration, and sensitive listening, enabling the encompassing of the complex network of intersubjectivities that intertwined in the research context, creating opportunities for reflection and awareness. The study finds that Laefa/Cefd/Ufes, founded on the inseparability of extension, teaching, and research, is a fruitful space for the exchange of experiences, contributing significantly to the education of students and graduates involved in the project. The data collected demonstrate that, from a Freirean perspective, the inclusive and formative potential of the experiences produced at Laefa/Cefd/Ufes was constituted by the intertwining of dialogue, problematization, and social implication. From formative experiences in teaching, research, and outreach, a liberating praxis emerged, enabling sensitive listening, critical thinking, and an ethical commitment to human dignity. The project transcends the technical dimension of practice and reaffirms education as a space for resistance, dialogue, and social transformation.
