Abstract ＆ Presentation :

All circumstances have both advantages and disadvantages. The case of displaced people with PD (print disability) refers to additional problems, additional needs, and also suffering personel lives besides usual disability issues. However PRN (Progress Requires Needs) point of view implies that we can benefit from problems and needs of displaced people with PD as a opportunity for progress on the sake of all human beings including displaced people with PD.

Decision makers should know about background of displaced people with Pd in Turkey as a case then generate ideas for problem solving.

Beyazay Association of Turkey has a paradigm on problem definition that “gap between needs of persons with PD and Physical and/or social systems”, “negative attitudes of persons on disability” and “perception of person with disability about himself/herself”.

Attitueds of Turks with and without disabilities on displaced people with PD determines contents of their communication and relationship among them.,

Homecare system, healthcare system and Turkish education system In Turkey have been reorganized according to needs of the displaced people coming from especially Syria.

Copyright system and library services for persons with PD in Turkey can be applied for books, magazines, etc. printed in Turkey. However displaced people need materials printed out of Turkey because of native language. .

In terms of challenges of Turkish copyright system and library services for displaced persons with PD we as a Beyazay proposes on international cooperation, network system, sharing system, technology donation. Furthermore not only displaced persons with PD but also all persons with PD in the world can benefit from realisation of proposals.
