Summary/Abstract: Population is increasing rapidly in the world, life is concentrated in big cities. It is difficult to maintain daily life in today's societies where small settlements, intimate family relations, and good neighborly relations exist far from small settlements, where cold relations exist and virtual communication is widespread, not social communication. Quality of life is determined by factors such as education, access from one place to another, or the design and location of the residences. There are also children who are trying to grow up in the consumer society in this rush. To what extent can the changing needs and expectations be met in different age groups such as birth, infancy, childhood and youth? But what if these next-generation candidates have some congenital or acquired disabilities? It is necessary to draw attention to the question of how ergonomically adequate are the spaces in various parts of life such as social relations, education, shopping that will contribute to their physical, mental and social development. In this study, the space needs of a disabled child will be examined and a typological classification study will be made on the places that children with the right to participate in life as well as healthy individuals will use most, and it will be tried to create awareness of the disabled child, not the disabled individual.
