Abstract :In special education and rehabilitation buildings, where physically and mentally disabled individuals receive education and develop some social skills to integrate themselves into social life, many problems are faced depending on the design. The reasons for this are the inadequacy of architectural solutions, the lack of a user-oriented design from scratch, the buildings having different functions before, and the fact that these converted buildings cannot fully meet the requirements of the user. The surplus of “converted special education buildings” in our country and this building group being suitable for the requirements of special education students, and all their requirements are planned from the ground up, and what can be done to make the existing converted buildings affordable with the least cost, designing an accessible and barrier-free special education building were the focal points of the study.
