Special. Andriy

Andriy was different from other children from childhood. At the age of three, he was diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). The treatment had no effect. For four years in a secondary school in the district, due to poor academic performance and behavior patterns, Andrei was harassed by peers and teachers. He didn't know how to protect himself.

Andriy underwent a full medical examination and testing at the IRC. "A teenager has a classic example of mental retardation with manifestations in violation of the normal pace of mental development, impaired memory, attention, thinking. The emotional and volitional sphere is not developed. Inconsistency in the development of the age norm", indicated in the report.

Andriy urgently needs the help of a correctional teacher, speech therapist and psychologist. The boy needs serious psychological rehabilitation. As earlier everything was attributed to Andriy's laziness and correctional work was not carried out, there are other side effects. Only with comprehensive support will he be able to study in a comprehensive school, master the school material and learn to establish social ties, like any teenager.

Mom brings up her son alone, does not receive help from the state. Father long ago abandoned his family, changed his surname – it is not known where he is. His mother does not have the status of a single mother, there is no alimony for the maintenance of her son with special needs. The mother is dependent on two elderly disabled parents. Both are disabled with a minimum pension. Mom works as a teacher and tries to devote all her free time to classes with her only son.

Only thanks to our faith and Andrey's tireless work with the project specialists will we be able to change his future, open the way to a world where Andrey will heal and forget about the traumas and disappointments he has experienced.
