Mrs. Tatar emphasised that the reports generated in the workshops must be followed and implemented.
Noting that children and children with special needs require physiotherapists and that there is a great shortage of them in schools, First Lady Sibel Tatar said, "In the first place, full-time physiotherapists may not be assigned in all schools, but awareness can be raised by training teachers, children and families on physiotherapy."
Pointing out that technology is causing negative effects on people as it enters more into life, Mrs. Sibel Tatar stated that children in the developmental age experience problems with inactivity and inability to socialize.
First Lady pointed out that the games played in the past, in which social relations would develop and movement would increase, should be encouraged by the Ministries of Sports and Education.
