Family Testimonials

Hello, I am Osman Berat’s mother. We started a special movement game two months ago. My son is three years old and had early signs of autism. Thanks to Koray and Baturay, he is now able to follow commands more often, and we can maintain eye contact for longer periods of time. He was a very stubborn and temperamental child, but they supported us and helped us find a solution. I used to avoid going to public transport, shopping malls, and crowded areas because they were very challenging for us, but now all of that has changed. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Koray Hoca, Yhocam, and the entire special movement play family for everything they have done for us. I am so glad I met you. 🙏🙏🙏

Before starting the Turgutlu Active Special Game, my son Ensar did not make eye contact, respond to commands or his name, did not know the rules of the game, and could not use any words. We took him to many places, but there was no progress. Thankfully, thanks to the Turgutlu Active Special Game, my son has become a completely different child. I am very grateful to the Turgutlu Active Special Game family for everything.

Hello, I am Sadi’s mother. Before my son started here, he had no eye contact whatsoever, he didn’t like being touched, he didn’t respond to his name, and he made meaningless movements. He had an extreme reaction to loud noises, but almost all of these things are gone now. He can respond to his name, his eye contact has completely opened up, and his give-and-take skills have improved greatly. The Turgutlu Active Special Play Centre has contributed a lot to us. We are very grateful. ❤️

We started the İzmir Torbalı Special Mobile Play programme for our 2-year-old son to encourage activity, interaction with peers and sharing. Although it has only been two months, we can already see positive results, especially in terms of his communication with friends. In addition, as he has a 5-month-old sibling, we don’t have much opportunity to do activities at home, so they are very supportive in this regard. We love our teacher, and it has become a place we enjoy going to. Especially the owners, Fulden and Gülden, are excellent in their conversations that reassure the mother and in the concept of ‘mummy time’ we evaluate while waiting for our son. We feel very lucky to be part of such an institution and extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone ❤️

I am Sıdıka, Ali Berat’s mother. We started taking lessons three months ago. At first, Ali Berat had difficulty following commands and did not speak. At the end of three months, Ali Berat no longer has difficulty following commands. He listens to me better and understands me better. I am grateful for the active special game.

Before starting the Torbalı active special programme, my son Mustafa Kemal also had a speech impediment. His vocabulary was very limited for his age, but after he started attending the Torbalı branch of the active special programme, his vocabulary increased dramatically. We managed to complete toilet training quickly and without any issues. Additionally, Mustafa Kemal was a defiant child who did not follow rules, but now his defiance has visibly decreased. We can now go out more comfortably. He has started to understand and follow commands like ‘yes’ and ‘no.’ I am grateful to the Torbalı Active Special Play family; I am glad our paths crossed.

Hello, I am Mirza’s mother. Mirza is three and a half years old and had speech problems, which caused him to scream a lot. He would scream and cry to get what he wanted. He had socialisation problems; when he saw a crowd at the park, he would play with us but not with children he didn’t know. I also couldn’t communicate with Mirza When I asked him questions, he wouldn’t answer; he would just repeat what I said. This really upset me. I researched a lot to see if there was a different problem. Finally, I found a movement-based play centre on Instagram. I chose this place because I thought that learning through movement would be more effective and long-lasting. I’m so glad I brought him here. I saw the effects in the first week. His language development improved, and he calmed down. I’ve been coming here for a month now, and our conversations He understands what I say and responds. His self-care skills have also improved. He plays comfortably in the park, no longer afraid or screaming. He can express himself and even shake hands with an uncle he meets at the market and say his name. I’m so glad I brought him here. I strongly recommend this place to anyone who sees problems in their child. The teachers and the director, Ms. Çağla, are very kind and attentive. They are experts in their field. I feel much more at ease about many things. I recommend that anyone who sees issues with their child consult the Buca Active Play Centre. Thank you for everything.

After the age of 2, my son lost his ability to speak. Thankfully, the Hareketli Special Play Buca branch came into our lives… My son’s ability to follow commands and his awareness have improved. It’s a wonderful feeling to see him smile while looking into my eyes as we walk down the street. He is starting to make sounds and repeat what the teacher says. I hope things will get even better with our wonderful teachers. 🌸 He has re-learned how to put on and take off his shoes, clap his hands, and say goodbye. You are amazing, and we achieved all this in a short time. We have been continuing for three months. ❤️ They created an opportunity for my son to succeed and feel it. Thank you for your efforts. Thank goodness you’re here, Koray teacher, Çagla teacher, Baturay teacher, and our wonderful teachers. We’ll see even better days, insha’Allah 🧿

Before starting lessons, my 2-year-old son never took instructions, didn’t respond to his name, had such a limited vocabulary that he could hardly be said to have any words at all, didn’t play with toys or books as he should have, never joined in games with his peers, and constantly banged his head violently against the wall. Before starting special play therapy, I took him to a pedagogue, and when we went, my first statement was that this child had autism, but the pedagogue said that hyperactive attention deficit disorder predisposes one to autism, and we can resolve it with special play therapy. When we first met with Mr. Baturay, our journey began with him saying, ‘This child has autism, I am certain,’ and within six months, with regular lessons and the guidance of our teacher, everything fell into place with home exercises. After the second lesson, my son started looking at his name. By the fifth and sixth lessons, he began following instructions and learned to use toys appropriately. I noticed that after four lessons, my son was looking me in the eyes and listening to me. Now, in the sixth month, he uses two-word phrases and occasionally three-word phrases when he feels like it. So now everything is as it should be for a child. With the right people and the right guidance, we got through the process very well. First of all, I would like to thank Koray Hocam for establishing this institution and bringing together the best in the field, and then Baturay Hocam, who saw our problems as his own, was always by our side, responded immediately to our messages, never left any questions unanswered, and was always available when we called. and to all the teachers who have shown patience, care, and compassion in my son’s lessons, treating him as if he were their own child. I am deeply grateful to all of you.I’m glad you’re here.

Hello. I am Halil İbrahim’s mother. We started special education at 21 months. We had no eye contact, but now we do. He used to turn around, but now he doesn’t. He used to walk on his toes, but now he doesn’t. I recommend it to everyone with peace of mind. I am so glad our paths crossed.

Before starting the Turgutlu active special game, my son Isa Eray did not speak much, did not respond to his name, and walked on his toes and spun around. After a process of about seven months, my son is now speaking completely, responding to his name, his awareness has increased, his ability to play independently has developed, his toe-walking and spinning around have completely stopped, and his imitation skills have developed. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Turgutlu for the specialized movement-based therapy program. We are truly grateful for your presence.
