Rehabilitation for 35 Deaf Children from Ukraine

In October, we are planning another online course for children with hearing problems, who urgently need auditory and speech rehabilitation to integrate into the surrounding world during these challenging times for Ukraine. The 4-week course is designed for 20 students, with will attend series of rehabilitation sessions with our rehabilitation specialists. The course also includes a practical seminar for parents. To help children with hearing and speech difficulties focus, learn, and respond appropriately to their environment, we will introduce practical training masterclasses with elements of art therapy to positively impact children’s psychological state in ongoing wartime conditions.
Currently, online course preparation is underway, including survey design and participant selection. Individual programs are being developed for each child, taking their specific needs into account. One of the participants in the upcoming online session will be Andriy, a 9-year-old internally displaced child from the Kharkiv region. Together with his parents and his 2-year brother, Andriy had to flee his home and relocate to Kyiv farther way from the front line. Andriy is a special child; he has a cochlear implant and faces additional learning difficulties. We hope that this rehabilitation session will help him improve his academic performance and, with the help of psychologists, restore the childhood of a boy who has witnessed the horrors of war.
Once again, we extend our deep and sincere gratitude to all the donors who supports Ukrainian children with your generous contributions.
The child's name has been changed.
