Sonuç: Çalışmamızda olguların %43.2'sini çocuk yaş grubu oluş-turmakta olup, çocuklarda en çok zihinsel problemler görülür iken eriş-kin grupta en fazla kronik hastalıklar görülmekte idi. Çalışmamızda çocuk yaş grubunda bu kadar çok zihinsel problemlerin görülmesi biz aile hekimleri olarak muayeneye gelen çocukları sadece biyolojik açıdan değil, zihinsel açıdan da değerlendirmemiz gerekliliğini ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca aile hekimleri olarak muayene olmak için başvuran engelli bireylere uygun sos-yal destek ve yardım hizmetlerinin devlet tarafından verildiği konusunda bilgilendirmelerde de bulunulmalıdır.Anahtar sözcükler: Özürlü, Sağlık Kurulu, raporlar SummaryObjective: Because of the need for appropriately collected, detailed data to prevent and rehabilitate disability in our country; were viewed disability cases whom were admitted to Inönü University Turgut Özal Medical Center an daimed to contribute to the data about disabled people.

Chronic diseases were observed as the most common reason of disability in adult age group. The fact that mental disability is that much prominent in children age group shows us, family doctors, that we shouldn't only examine children from a biological standpoint but also from a mental standpoint. As family doctors, we should also inform handicapped people who come to the clinic for examination, about social support given by the state.

Objective: The overall objective of this project was to identify consumers' opinions of their needs and wants related to assistive technology (AT) in a systematic and quantitative manner via a questionnaire that can be used to validate existing and establish new research priorities. Methods: This pilot study describes questionnaire development, online implementation, and revisions considered to the questionnaire in preparation for conducting a nationwide survey. Data from a sample (N = 112) are presented. The pilot study was critical to refine the questions and ensure that meaningful information was being collected. Results: It was identified that revisions were warranted to provide more structure and allow for consumers to prioritize AT research efforts. Conclusion:The questionnaire results, although positively in favor of many of the technologies presented, are inconclusive to identify generalizable research priorities, thus expansion to a nationwide population is warranted.
