The Selçuklu Otizmli Bireyler Eğitim (SOBE) Foundation has commenced the 2026-2027 academic year with 356 students enrolled in its multidisciplinary programs. Based in Konya, the foundation provides a range of services including special education, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, social skills training, and artistic and athletic activities.

Despite the current enrollment, the foundation reports a significant demand for its services, with approximately 750 children currently on a waiting list. To address this, the foundation is working on expanding its capacity through the construction of additional buildings in Konya. Furthermore, a branch has been opened in Zeytinburnu, Istanbul, where student pre-registration is underway.

Since its establishment in 2016, the foundation has supported over 1,000 individuals and completed more than 457,000 therapy and education sessions. Notable outcomes reported by the foundation include 52 students who had their autism diagnosis reports removed following intensive intervention and 12 individuals who have successfully entered the workforce.
