Abstract
This study was conducted to reveal the effects of movement training on the cognitive skills of children with special needs. The research was conducted with a total of 100 participants, 80 with special needs and 20 with healthy development. The special needs group consisted of 20 children with special learning difficulties, 20 children with physical special needs, 20 children with down syndrome, and 20 children with hearing special needs. A demographic questionnaire was created by the researcher and it was applied to the participants, and Benton Visual Memory Test and Cattel 2a Intelligence test were applied. As a result of the comparison of "Benton visual memory test and Cattel intelligence test" according to the sports status of individuals with special needs, a significant difference was found in the number of correct and error numbers of Cattel and Benton (p<0.05). At the same time, as a result of the study and comparison of "Benton visual memory test and Cattel intelligence test" according to the sports status of individuals with special needs, a significant difference was found in the number of correct and error numbers of Cattel and Benton (p<0.05). The positive effect of movement training on the cognitive functions of children with special needs has been confirmed by the study. Special movement training should be added to the special education programs to support cognitive developments of children with special needs who need the development of their cognitive functions for integration into society and self-efficacy.

Abstract
Araştırma özel gereksinimli 80 ve normal gelişim gösteren 20 olmak üzere toplam 100 katılımcı ile yapılmıştır. Özel gereksinimli grup özel öğrenme güçlüğü yaşayan 20, fiziksel özel gereksinimli 20, down sendromlu 20, ve işitme özel gereksinimli 20 çocuktan oluştu. Katılımcılara araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen demografik anket uygulanmış ve Benton Görsel Bellek Testi ve Cattel 2a Zekâ testi uygulanmıştır. Özel gereksinimli bireylerin spor yapma durumuna göre “Benton görsel bellek testi ve Cattel zekâ testi” karşılaştırma sonucunda Cattel ve Benton doğru ve hata sayısında anlamlı fark bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Aynı zamanda özel gereksinimli bireylerin spor yapma durumuna göre “Benton görsel bellek testi ve Cattel zekâ testi” karşılaştırma sonucunda Cattel ve Benton doğru ve hata sayısında anlamlı fark bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Hareket eğitiminin özel gereksinimli çocukların kognitif fonksiyonlarına olan olumlu etkisi çalışmayla doğrulanmıştır. Topluma entegrasyon ve öz yeterlilik için kognitif fonksiyonlarının gelişmesine ihtiyaç duyan özel gereksinimli çocuklar için oluşturulacak özel eğitim programlarına, özel hareket eğitimleri eklenmelidir.
