ACADEMIC PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

The Academic Program for Children with Special Needs, organized in collaboration with the Anadolu Education and Culture Foundation and Istanbul Aydın University, is being held between June 30 and July 25, 2025.

Today marked the first day of this program, which is designed for children aged 9 to 12 with special needs. On Mondays, the children attend the Art Education and Fine Motor Skills Development class led by Lecturer Semanur Akman. Each child is paired with a volunteer university student who provides one-on-one support and actively contributes to the learning process.

The program continues with Physical Education on Wednesdays and Gastronomy Education on Fridays, offering a holistic approach to support the children’s physical, artistic, and emotional development.

At the same time, parents are also included in this process. On the first day, they participated in a session led by Prof. Dr. Belkıs Gürsoy, aiming to enhance their intellectual and personal development in parallel with their children’s journey.
