Dear Citizens,
The measure of civilization level of a city depends on the degree of accessibility of that city by the citizens and disabled people living in that city. In every investments we embarked upon we consider its accessibility by disa-bled people. Disadisa-bled people should have an accesses to everywhere and they should do whatever they need to do as an equal citizens of Istanbul.
A disabled individual should be able to go fishing, to the cinema or theater whenever he/she likes to. Our aim is to achieve this in every part of Istanbul. We are working 365 days a year and 24 hours a day.
Let’s solve the problems together. Let’s build a better modern city environment together.
DIRECTORATE OF DISABLED PEOPLE
The service unit that was established within Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality in 1994 as ‘Coordination Center for the Disabled’, with its diversified services and enlarged structure, aims at bringing its services on-site to all disabled and their families in the city. Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality re-shaped the work and struc-ture of the Service Unit for the Disabled in accordance with the Law No: 5378 ‘Law Regarding Change in Disa-bled and Some Law and Decree Law’ and the change in Metropolitan Municipality Law No: 5216 that were pub-lished in the Official Gazette in July 1st 2005. Based on this configuration, the Service Unit, with its new cent-ers, was institutionalized as a directorate within the Department of Health and Social Services in July 2006. With the opening of new centers in 2011, information, awareness, orientation, counseling, social and vocational rehabilitation services are given in 23 centers in various parts of Istanbul.
OUR OBJECTIVES
We intend to develop the capacity, improve the living conditions, support the independency of the disabled people, and help them advance their share in social de-velopment so as to ensure that the disabled contribute to production.

Information, coun-seling, referrals to internal and external departments and their follow-ups are carried out in this service as is re-quired in a holistic social service system. Psycho-Social Services are provided under the following headings:
1-SOCIAL SUPPORT SERVİCES
Social Services are the units that disabled people and their relatives can receive most accurate first-hand information about disability. In this service, information, orientation and, counseling services are provided by vocationally proficient sociologists, experienced in the field of disability. Social and vocational rehabilitation services that provide the disabled to actively participate in social life and realize their potential are offered. Institutions that would be helpful to the ben-eficiaries are probed and a support procedure is planned according to the type of support needed by the disabled individual. In order to improve the living standards of the disabled people, the family members and parents are pro-vided with training in specific areas. In order to ensure a life-time support to the disabled, programs to strengthen family solidarity and facilitate social and environmental dynamics are carried out. Social activities that will provide mobility for the disabled in society are organized as well.
Social activities are rehabilitation tools that enable the disa-bled people and their families to participate in social life without isolation from the society. Those social activities that we have organized for this purpose can be listed as such:
a)Culture-Art Festivals:
Within the scope of culture and art festivals, handcraft and painting exhibitions, folk dance competitions, choirs, and plays are organized.
b)Travel and Entertainment Programs:
Throughout the year, visits to historical and touristic places are organized for the disabled and their families. Thanks to this program, the disabled people get the opportunity to take a closer look to the historical and touristic places that they did not previously have the opportunity to visit

The disabled people who want to use this service register to our nearest center dispatching their re-quests. A hairdresser is sent to the registered disabled people on determined day and hours and they have their hair cut.
2-PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT SERVICES
In psychological support services, our aim is to increase the participation of the disabled and their families and improve their skills in dealing with individual and periph-eral issues. Works in supporting educational, vocational, emotional and social development of the disabled are carried out. If need arises, psychological strengthening of the family members is provided as well. The services in this direction are:

c) Speech Therapy:

d) Small Steps Early Education Program:
Small Steps Early Education Program is an early educa-tion program that was designed for the families with chil-dren having developmental problems between the ages 0 to 6. The program prepared in Macquarie University in Australia consists of an 8-volume education set. The pro-ject is executed in cooperation with universities. The aim of the program, which focuses on skills learned at the ages 0-4 in a normal development progress, is to teach
the family the program and make it effective in working with the child who is in early education progress.
How the Program Works?
Home-based Practice: At the start of the program, the families accepted to the program by the pre-assessment of the experts, get their education sets after a brief edu-cation given by expert psychologists. Then the families are introduced to a senior student studying psychol-ogy or special education at a university that supports the project and has taken training in “Small Steps Early Education Program. Students who are introduced to the families inform the families regarding the education of the children at certain intervals within 5 months. Institution-based Practice: Not all families participate to the home-based practice. Some families accepted to the education come to our institutions and join the educa-tions given by experts who have taken training in Small Steps Early Education Program in a 3 month prolonged period.
3-HEALTH SUPPORT SERVICES
