Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
During the evaluation phase, interactive roundtable activity, valid and reliable scales and physical assessments, and barriers and motivators for physical activity participation of individuals with special needs will be evaluated. A comprehensive interactive training seminar on physical activity will be held for individuals with special needs and parents during the training phase.
In the experimentation phase, children and adolescents with special needs will participate in training programs that include exercise and sportive activities suitable for the determined physical activity barriers and motivators, and will have the opportunity to experience exercises and sportive activities that they have not experienced before. The results of this project will provide gains in the analysis and application of physical inactivity, which is seen as an important public health problem in our country, for individuals with special needs, and will also guide many relevant institutions, health professionals and educators.

Special needs children and adolescents with physical disabilities and their parents
Project consists of three main stages as evaluation, education and experimentation. For evaluation, firstly physical activity levels of individuals with special needs, barriers in physical activity, and motivators will be determined with an interactive roundtable meeting with children, adolescents and their parents. Afterwards, posture analyzes of individuals with special needs will be performed by physiotherapists. For education, interactive informative seminars titled "Physical Activity in Individuals with Special Needs" will be given and after that posture and ergonomics education will be given to the participants individually. For experimentation, group exercises, dance therapy and technology-supported exercise educations will be implemented by physiotherapists, taking into account the previous evaluations.
Evaluation
Within the scope of the evaluation, first of all, physical activity levels of children and adolescents with physical disabilities, barriers that prevent them from participating in physical activity, and motivators that can increase their participation will be determined, accompanied by an interactive roundtable meeting. Afterwards, posture analyzes of children and adolescents with special needs with physical disabilities will be performed by physiotherapists.
Education
In the education part, interactive informative seminars titled "Physical Activity in Individuals with Special Needs" will be given and after the objective posture assessments, postural disorders of children and adolescents with special needs will be determined and accordingly, posture and ergonomics training will be given to the participants individually.
Experimentation
In the experimentation part, group exercises, dance therapy programs and technology-supported exercise educations with various technological equipment will be implemented in the company of physiotherapists, taking into account the posture assessments.
