Iris Cosar is a Developmental Psychologist specializing in Learning Difficulties and ADHD.
She provides individualized educational support to children and teens to enhance their learning skills and offers consultation to their parents.
Children with dyslexia and other learning difficulties often carry heavier burdens than their peers.
As Iris explains, the most significant challenge they face is "being aware of everything but not being able to help it."
For this reason, she believes that the first step in any support process is building a strong communication channel—getting to know the child's strengths and weaknesses and addressing challenges one step at a time.
Quoting Vygotsky, she often says, “What a child can do in cooperation today, he can do alone tomorrow,” underscoring her belief in guided development.
Iris places a strong emphasis on reading, viewing it as the gateway to all other learning.
To highlight this, she invites us to imagine a typical day without the ability to read—how dramatically life would change.
Driven by this belief, much of Iris’s work has focused on improving foundational skills.
She has translated and adapted the learning programs of Prof. J.P. Das—such as Math Modules and COGENT—into Turkish.
These programs are based on the PASS theory of intelligence and are designed to strengthen core cognitive skills.
Iris currently provides online special education for children and teens, as well as training for educators working with children who have Math Learning Difficulties or Dyscalculia.
Her journey into psychology began with a passion for helping children with unique learning styles.
As she deepened her expertise, she became certified in EMDR and Art Therapy, expanding her practice to support adults as well.
Today, she helps clients of all ages navigate emotional, cognitive, and behavioral challenges, always aiming to uncover their inner strengths and resources.
Whether helping someone overcome trauma or working to improve focus and motivation, Iris is committed to walking alongside her clients with empathy and expertise.
She welcomes questions and is always open to connecting through this platform.
