Many disciplines need to work together to treat Cerebral Palsy. The most important role among these disciplines is played by physiotherapists and their practices within the rehabilitation team. The aim of rehabilitation practices is to determine the current mobility of the child and to realize practices that can make the child more independent. Adaptive devices can provide serious support in increasing the independence of the child. Maximum efficiency in recovery can be achieved by recommending the right device for the child’s needs. With these devices, we can support the child’s participation in social life as well as increase the comfort of life. Adaptive devices, which can meet a wide range of needs from sitting aids to robotic walkers, are becoming more compatible with the human body by developing in parallel with the developing technology every day.

At the same time, I am also working as a temporary duty in the Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation at Karadeniz Technical University Faculty of Health Sciences, one of the most established and successful universities in Turkey. I completed my undergraduate education at Pamukkale University in 2007. I graduated from Hasan Kalyoncu University in 2018 with a master’s degree. My master’s degree is in "Pediatric Physiotherapy". I worked for 13 years in a Special Education and Rehabilitation Center, which is the field of Pediatric Physiotherapy. This work gave me an important experience in how the environment of infants and children affects their motor behavior.
