As a result of the implementation of the project 353 children benefited from a sound vacation. Their families, often a single parent ones, that could not normally afford any vacation or a break with children, was able to have some rest from the constant load of problems related to the upbringing of children with special needs and discover the new abilities of their children.
The children with significantly pronounced pathologies, some with the absence of speech, have received a new experience of adjusting to a new group without the presence of a parent.
The key goals have been achieved with excellence. They included: development and improvement of self-care skills, social and sustenance skills and the expansion of the interaction of children of children with special needs in the environment of their peers.
