It is necessary to first develop phonological awareness in individuals with special learning difficulties. It is important to make individuals aware that words consist of syllables and syllables consist of sounds. If individuals do not develop the ability to sense sounds in spoken language, they will have difficulty understanding and analyzing words.
In awareness studies, the teaching sequence should be kept short and frequent. It is IMPORTANT to carry out plenty of repetition exercises.
If a sound is detected as a result of the assessment, the following studies can be carried out with the detected sound:
<ul class="plan-offer-list">
 <li> Guessing the number of sounds, (e.g., "tel-telsiz") which word has more sounds?</li>
 <li> Counting the number of sounds, (e.g., "masal") how many sounds are in the word?</li>
 <li> Finding the position of the sound within the word, (e.g., "kabak") is the "b" sound at the beginning, middle, or end?</li>
</ul>

Horse riding therapy aims to strengthen body muscles through exercises performed on horseback. During horseback riding, all major muscle groups of the body are engaged.
Hippotherapy is a type of treatment that aims to activate body muscles through exercises on horseback. During the process, the individual moves with the horse and instinctively tries to maintain balance to avoid falling, engaging both healthy and affected muscles.
A horse can transmit approximately one hundred vibrational signals per minute to the individual. As a result, nearly all muscle groups are engaged, fine motor skills are stimulated, and the formation of complex, precise, and clear movements is achieved.
The multi-dimensional swaying rhythm of the horse's gait resembles the pelvic movements occurring during a normal walking cycle and impacts the individual's pelvic region twice as much as normal walking, increasing sensory input.

Sensory integration is defined as a neurological process that organizes sensory information received from the body and the environment, enabling appropriate use.
The sensory information taken from the body and the surroundings goes through the processes of perception, interpretation, and integration in the brain, allowing an organized response to be generated. Thus, children adapt to life with sensory information from their bodies and the outside world and make sense of the situations around them.
There are seven senses that allow us to perceive stimuli from the environment and give adaptive responses:
<ul>
 <li>Taste</li>
 <li>Touch (Tactile)</li>
 <li>Hearing</li>
 <li>Smell</li>
 <li>Vision</li>
 <li>Vestibular Sense (Movement and Balance)</li>
 <li>Proprioceptive Sense (Body Awareness)</li>
</ul>
Sensory integration therapy is applied to children or adults who experience difficulties in perceiving these senses. Therapies are conducted in a structured environment and tailored to the child's needs.
During sensory integration therapy, the child only plays, and the therapist guides them to develop their nervous system through intrinsic motivation. Therefore, this therapy must be conducted by a professional occupational therapist.
Signs of Sensory Integration Issues:
<ul>
 <li>Rarely playing with skill-requiring toys</li>
 <li>Not feeling pain or responding late to pain</li>
 <li>Overreacting to being hugged or touched</li>
 <li>Failure in coordination-required activities</li>
 <li>Delay in hand preference</li>
 <li>Difficulty making friends</li>
 <li>Attention and concentration difficulties</li>
 <li>Emotional instability</li>
 <li>Weak fine motor skills</li>
 <li>Difficulty learning new motor skills</li>
 <li>Eating problems</li>
 <li>Speech problems</li>
 <li>Problems with toilet training</li>
 <li>Excessive movement or avoiding movement</li>
 <li>Difficulty transitioning from one object or activity to another</li>
</ul>

Hippotherapy involves horseback riding activities used as a supportive therapy method in fields such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. Hippotherapy aims to improve balance, coordination, muscle strength, and posture control in individuals. This unique therapy method utilizes sensory stimuli effectively to facilitate significant progress in motor and sensory development.
During hippotherapy sessions, the individual learns to control their posture and balance while adapting to the horse's natural rhythmic movements. This process helps regulate muscle tone, enhance balance control, and improve mobility, especially for individuals with neurological development disorders.
Guided by expert therapists, hippotherapy helps children build confidence and participate more actively in social life. Additionally, informing and involving families in the therapy process ensures that the benefits gained from hippotherapy sessions are reinforced in daily life.
