Support inclusive education for children

The Inclusive Resource Center (IRC) in Olevsk is currently the only institution serving two communities (comprising 33 towns) where specialized educators work on developing children with special educational needs. The center regularly accommodates 37 children, with approximately 100 more receiving professional advisory support..

At the moment, the establishment is in great need of specialized interactive equipment for working with children who have coordination disorders, cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorders (including emotionally distant children), and similar conditions. Interactive equipment will help these children develop motor coordination, sensory skills, fine motor skills, vestibular function, speech, as well as reading and math skills. Such sessions also greatly contribute to the development of intellect, memory, attention, and improvement of the psycho-emotional state of these children. The development of children with special educational needs is a tangible psychological support for their parents..

"Vladyk's mom reached out to the IRC over two years ago. She was confused and constantly crying, not knowing what to do next for her child, how to proceed... Initially, we made a comprehensive assessment of the child's development, had many consultations, provided educational support to the boy and his family, and corrective-developmental sessions with IRC specialists.

Today, Vladyslav is six years old. He can already read and count. He knows numbers and forms two-word sentences, although he hardly communicates independently. Of course, there is still a lot of work ahead. The child finds it extremely difficult to acquire new skills, but we do not stop, and step by step, we move toward the set goal," says Olena Buchynska, director of the Olevsk Inclusive Resource Center.

Help Vladyk and other children develop new skills and integrate into mainstream schools. Remember, no donation is too small. Every hryvnia of yours is important. Thank you in advance.
