Helping your child build skills, step by step
A diagnosis and rehabilitation center in Istanbul where Arabic-speaking specialists work with children and their families, building each child's program after a careful assessment.
The center brings specialists in special education, mental health, educational psychology, occupational therapy and learning difficulties under one roof, so several disciplines meet around each case instead of the family moving between different places.
We always start with assessment: we understand where your child is now and which skill they can reach next, then build a plan of small, measurable goals. Session results are recorded as we go, and the plan is reviewed with the family as your child responds.

Questions parents often ask
Can't find your answer? Ask us on WhatsApp.
Yes. The center's specialists speak Arabic, so you can explain your child's needs and follow their plan in your own language.
It starts with a diagnosis and assessment session using accredited psychological scales and tests. The results are discussed with the family, and an individual rehabilitation plan is built on them, with specific goals and a suggested number of sessions.
It is a scientific approach that breaks a skill into small, measurable steps and systematically reinforces the behavior you want to see. Data is recorded in every session, so the program's results can be followed on paper rather than left to general impressions.
Occupational therapy targets your child's ability to carry out everyday activities independently — eating, dressing, writing. Sensory integration is one part of it that works on how the nervous system receives and processes sensory input, and the two often run together in the same plan.
Yes. The center offers daycare alongside individual and group sessions, and the assessment session shows which suits your child better.
The center works with children and adolescents. Whether a program suits your child's age is decided during the first assessment session — get in touch to arrange one.
Yes, and we encourage it at certain stages of the program. The specialist explains when a parent being there supports the goal and when your child needs a one-to-one session, and gives the family home exercises either way.
Message us on WhatsApp or call us. Tell us your child's age and a short reason for getting in touch, and the team will get back to you to set the assessment date.
