In this text, we present research in which, through individual treatment, we examine the influence and effect of karate on occupational therapy for people with mild mental handicaps. Our primary goal was to set guidelines for people with special needs to be successfully included outside the usual methods of rehabilitation and school activities. The research included an initial control and final experiment measuring reaction time, in which we focused subjects on the mentioned therapy model (group; n = 18) in a group workshop plus additional individual sessions with each individual separately. In addition, the group had additional sessions with other auxiliary activities, and all participants were between 12 and 15 years old, of both genders. The results confirmed that the occupational therapy model with karate improves the subjects' physical abilities, specific skills, and the ability to pay attention, perception, and motor reaction.
