Being physically active, especially between the ages of 0-21, is considered necessary for muscle growth, ossification, and the functioning of internal organs such as the heart and livers. Non-disabled children meet the need for adequate physical activity by participating in daily play activities to maintain normal growth and development. However, children with disabilities do not do enough physical exercises. However, when compared to the general population, disabled individuals cannot participate in physical activity due to personal and environmental reasons, which brings along some health problems. The elements that we expect our project to contribute to the solution by stepping in at this point are the problems encountered in the psychological, individual, social and environmental fields.
