The effect of the family education to be given on the activity status of the children and the psychosocial status of the families was investigated. The individuals included in the study were divided into two groups as patient and control. In the beginning, the scales used to determine the activity status and the scales to determine the depression status of their families were applied in order to determine the status of both groups. Children with cerebral palsy in the patient group received treatment in a special education and rehabilitation center two days a week for 8 weeks. Individuals in the control group were followed up with a home program. After 8 weeks of treatment, the same tests were repeated and it was examined whether the family education provided made a difference in children with cerebral palsy and their parents.
