Abstrakt: Objective: The purpose of this study of phenomenology is to examine the educational difficulties and challenges faced by physical education instructors providing education to the disabled students in comparison to the other physical education instructors. Method: The study is of qualitative nature in terms of the techniques employed in resolving the data obtained in relation to the field that the problem is associated with. The sample group of the study consists of five physical education instructors working at schools catering to the disabled children within the city borders of Ankara. The study data has been obtained by means of the semi-structured interview form that was developed by the researcher and also by conducting face to face interviews (interview techniques) with the physical education instructors concerned. Results and Conclusion: According the study findings, the physical education instructors are of the opinion that the physical education courses at schools for disabled children are essential and an integral part of the curriculum however, the course content implemented at the subject matter schools is deemed not to be sufficiently suitable for the students concerned. Consequently it can be deduced that the physical education courses provided at schools for disabled are an important part of the curriculum playing an important role in their socializing as well as their educational process with special needs, however, the subject matter schools do not place the necessary emphasis on physical education, and that there are problems related with sports halls, materials, etc., and moreover, the physical education instructors working at schools for disabled lack the education and training necessary to operate in this capacity.
