Healthcare workers spend hours, days, and months together with individuals with cerebral palsy. They strive to provide the best service to their patients. Individuals with gross motor function classification system level (GMFCS) I, II and III are expected to participate in society. Life expectancy is close to normal individuals. Apart from the duration of treatment, the healthcare workers become aware of the difficulties experienced by the individual with cerebral palsy in accordance with the ability to empathize. In this article, the lives of individuals with cerebral palsy which can sometimes be ignored at a busy working pace, were looked at. In order to listen to the difficulties that dysfunctions create in life and in the workplace, three individuals with cerebral palsy with GMFCS level II and III experienced during treatment and difficulties in their homes and workplaces were included in their own words.
