Abstract
The purpose of this research; The aim of this study is to examine the effect of sports on the participation of physically disabled athletes in social life and how disabled athletes contribute to their socialization as role models for disabled individuals. For this purpose, studies in the literature were researched and compiled. Disability is generally seen as a concept that negatively affects individuals' participation in physical activities and social life. In our country and around the world, people with disabilities generally avoid physical activities and prefer to live an introverted life away from social life. However, disabled individuals who do not see being disabled as an obstacle to doing sports can participate in sports activities, become successful athletes and adapt to social life with their efforts. At the same time, athletes with disabilities become role models for other disabled individuals and contribute to their adaptation to social life without being afraid of their disabilities. In this study, the literature on the effect of sports on the participation of physically disabled athletes in social life was reviewed, compiled and suggestions were made. It is important for the disabled to take part in sports in every process of life, to increase the awareness of the disabled and to do sports. Disabled children can reduce the perception of disability and inform them about disability sports in educational institutions. Organizing trainings, seminars and various studies suitable for their level can enable them to do sports and become role models.
