Participants from different provinces of Turkey showed great interest in the symposium organized online by the Faculty of Health Sciences of our university. In the event, which was held on the occasion of May 10-16, Disabled Week, opinions were exchanged over current discussions by providing information to raise awareness about “disabled mothers and children with disabilities” with different perspectives.
Making the opening speech of the event, Vice Rector of our University Prof. Dr. Sevim Çelik noted that the symposium aims to discuss the problems of disabled mothers and children with disabilities, develop solutions and guide disabled mothers and disabled children.
Prof. Dr. Çelik said, "According to the data of July 2020, the number of disabled people registered in the National Disability Database across Turkey is 2 million 530 thousand 376. 27 percent of this number is between 0-21 years old, 36 percent is between 22-49 years old and 37 percent is between 50-64 years old. These figures reveal the necessity of being aware of disabled people and finding solutions to their many problems such as health, education, social and employment.

There are important developments in this direction in our country as well as in the whole world. Our disabled people are more visible now. Families do not hide themselves and their children as before. This is an important development. Increasing public awareness is important in this important development. " used the expressions.
