Marmara University Disabled Student Unit Coordinator

The primary duty, as well as the objective, of the Unit for the Students with Disabilities is to support the students with special needs by providing equal opportunities in education. In order to achieve this, our university ensures the effective participation of the students by supplying educational tools and assistive technologies within the accessible education environment. Because isolation from the society of the disabled people is unacceptable for Marmara University; On the contrary, their active and effective participation is essential. The participation should be completely full participation because with only that sort of participation, people with disabilities can feel themselves equal and as a part of a whole. It is not enough for us to construct and implement our work within the borders of the university. Because apart from the students with disabilities attending our university, in our country there are 8.5 million people with disabilities, according to the research carried out in 2002. The number must be even higher now. If we take into account the people who share life with them such as parents, siblings, friends, relatives and teachers, this number might be much higher. Therefore, the fact of 'disability' affects almost half of Turkey's population. Knowing this reality, the Unit for The Students with Disabilities aims at nurturing awareness on the issue throughout all the campuses by sharing related knowledge and facts. In this way, while appealing attention to the problems, the unit also aims at working to come up with solutions to social problems. Because we know that it is the duty of universities to produce information and ideas which will ensure sensitivity among society with which they will encounter during employment after they graduate from our school, where they are provided with all kinds of support. For this reason, our objective is to study and work on diversity, equity and inclusion that will make the students get ready for the society by creating and carrying out projects on certain neglected issues under the academic vision to nurture the notion for a barrier-free life in all senses. https://eob.marmara.edu.tr/
