Families of individuals who meet the application criteria are called to the center to fill out the EÇADEM Student Information Forum and to be informed about the center rules in order to start the trial process of the individual.

After the information and planning is completed, the student begins the 8-week trial period.

If the student adapts, the necessary documents for final registration are requested from the family. Upon submission of the documents, the student’s final registration is completed.

In line with the planning determined by the center psychologist and occupational therapist, the mentally disabled individual, whose application process is completed, begins the trial process gradually. The trial period continues with the individual gradually benefiting from the center once a week for 8 weeks. This process may vary depending on the individual’s ability to adapt to the center. The individual, who gradually adapts to the center, is included in the routine functioning of EÇADEM. As a result of the 8-week trial period, individuals who adapt to the center are definitively registered to the center. However, while the trial period continues, if any problems are observed regarding the individual’s compliance or behavior within the framework of the center rules, the trial period is terminated.
