EÇADEM, which aims to increase the quality of life of disabled children and their families by providing care and counseling services, has taken up residence in its new campus in Yeniköy on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

Special children were brought together with trained dogs at the Support Center for Disabled Children and their Families (EÇADEM), a joint project of Sarıyer Municipality and Koç University. In the training implemented by IMM Dog Trainer and Head of Tanısan Seversin Association, Gökçen Yücekaya, accompanied by psychologists and occupational therapists, the children were given instruction in being part of a team, respecting each other's order, and being able to maintain balance. In the Support Center for Disabled Children and their Families (EÇADEM), special children come together with trained dogs to gain both physical and psychological benefits. It has been observed that with a few months of participation in an animal-assisted therapy program, children are more self-confident and active than before.
