Istanbul's Trusted Special Education & Therapy Center

Yes, you can. As Önce Special Education, we are an official institution affiliated with the Ministry of National Education. Individuals with a valid RAM report (ÇÖZGER or adult report) can receive state-sponsored (free) special education services at our center. Furthermore, there are no residential restrictions; reports obtained from outside Istanbul (e.g., Kocaeli; Gebze, Darıca, Çayırova) are equally valid at our institution.

We offer personalized services for all age groups, not just children. While we work on areas such as autism, speech delay, dyslexia, and sensory integration with children; for adults, we provide therapy support with our expert staff in areas such as post-stroke speech disorders (aphasia), stuttering, and adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Absolutely. Our center in Pendik is strategically located very close to the E-5 (D-100) highway and Marmaray. Thanks to this, you can reach our center very easily and quickly from the Anatolian Side (Tuzla, Kartal, Maltepe) as well as neighboring districts like Gebze, Darıca, and Çayırova, both by private vehicle and public transportation without facing traffic issues.

If your child speaks later than their peers, avoids eye contact, or has difficulty learning, early intervention is vital. When you contact our institution, we invite you to a 'Free Initial Evaluation Meeting'. During this meeting, our expert educators analyze the individual's situation and present a transparent, tailored education program to our families.

Yes, our multilingual infrastructure is one of our most important defining features. We have an expert team capable of providing special education and therapy services in English, German, and Russian for expatriate families returning to our country from abroad, bilingual children, or foreign clients residing in Turkey.

Our individual education and therapy sessions last an average of 40-45 minutes, in accordance with the requirements of the field. According to our institutional philosophy, real education begins when you leave the center. At the end of each session, our experts provide detailed information to families about what was done in the room that day and actively involve the family in the process with supportive activities (homework) to be implemented at home.
