Mental disability levels IQ = 50-79 individuals with mild / border mental disabilities will be included in the study. The disability status of the individuals will be determined by the health report, and the cognitive status of the individuals will be determined by the report given as a result of the evaluation made by the Guidance Research Centers of the National Education Directorates. The 45-person study group will be randomized to 3 groups of 15 persons each. The first group will not be subjected to any application except education. The second group will be the control group and will be taken to the balance training in addition to normal education. In the third group, dual task balance training will be applied within the scope of cognitive rehabilitation

Primary outcomes

cognitive functions

Time frame: 3 months

short-term memory(visual memory test, memorize the squares,number of correct choices), İnformation processing speed (space bar presses in response to non-target stimulus to be impulsive behavior. number of errors), Focusing and Perception (space bar presses in response to a target stimulus.The difference between the number of target stimuli that appeared in the test and the number of correct responses gives the number of omission errors. )

Secondary outcomes

motor functions

Time frame: 3 months

balance (walking forward a line, number of steps), coordination(jumping in place-same sides synchronized-number of correct form) , manual dexterity(transferring pennies-number of 15 sec.), gross motor skills and upper-limb coordination (dribling a ball-alternating hands-number of dribbles)
