Areas we support
Sensory regulation & sensory integration
How sensory challenges affect attention, transitions, play and family routines is evaluated as part of your child’s functioning.
Fine motor & hand–eye coordination
Pencil grip, scissors, buttons, zippers, table-top participation and pre-school readiness are interpreted functionally.
Play, participation & family planning
The goal is not a checklist of skills but more meaningful participation in play, routines and daily life — planned together with the family.
When do families reach out?
- Sensory sensitivities (sound, touch, movement, clothing, food textures)
- Difficulty with attention, task initiation and table-top participation
- Challenges with self-care, mealtimes and daily routines
- Autism support, delayed play participation or transition difficulties

Frequently asked questions
Do you work with English-speaking families in Alanya?
Yes. We support expat and international families living in Alanya and the surrounding areas (Oba, Tosmur, Kestel, Mahmutlar). The first contact and family guidance can be handled in English via WhatsApp, and sessions are play-based and family-centred.
Where is the clinic located?
Tuğçe Turunç Occupational Therapy Centre is in Oba, Alanya — across from Alkü Hospital, in the Ofis 2020 building. It is central and easy to reach for families across the Alanya region.
What is pediatric occupational therapy?
Pediatric (child) occupational therapy is an evidence-based health profession that helps children participate more fully in everyday occupations — play, self-care, motor skills, sensory regulation and school readiness. It does not diagnose; it supports daily-life functioning.
How does the first assessment work?
It starts with a family conversation, followed by play-based observation of your child’s sensory profile, motor skills and daily-living areas. You then receive a personal, take-home plan with clear, measurable goals tailored to your family’s routine.
