Özet:

The mobile application called "I'm Special, I’m in Education" developed by the General Directorate of Special Education and Guidance Services for children in need of special education; It offers instructive and entertaining game activities that enable disabled people to have a good time with their family members and contribute positively to their development. When it comes to people with disabilities, it is obvious that game activities should be carefully examined while being offered to users. In this context, the aim of the research is to examine the play activities in the application in terms of "name, age, duration, setting, number of people, aim-achievement, material, explanatoriness, muscle group, developmental dimension, disability group and adaptation" criteria. For this purpose, 55 game activities under the title of 11 game activities in the "I'm Special, I’m in Education" application were examined by thematic analysis method using the "game review criteria form", which was prepared in line with the expert opinions and the literature and consisted of 11 criteria in total. If mobile applications are designed correctly and used safely, they are extremely important for people with disabilities. However, as a result of the research, it was determined that many criteria such as age, disability type, adaptation and duration were not taken into account while application was being developed. In this direction, it is recommended to consider the criteria for disabled individuals during the development phase in order for the applications to be useful and to provide benefits to disabled individuals.
