Rehabilitation of children with hearing disability continues
Two years ago, our organization developed a concept to offer children, who have undergone a cochlear implant surgery, the opportunity to complete a rehabilitation program at a camp to accelerate recovery and offer training to children and their parents.
Today 74 children have been rehabilitated at the camp and now have a chance to hear, communicate, and simply live fuller lives. This result inspires us to continue our work and to continue making a difference in children’s lives. Through this experience we witnessed firsthand the positive impact rehabilitation program had on children and their parents. Between the camp sessions we hosted educational webinars and invited specialists to hold web consultations for parents. Children who went through a rehabilitation program are now adjusting well to their social environment and have certain developmental achievements: some communicate fluently with their parents and friends, some are learning to play musical instruments, some are reading poetry and singing. The planning process of each camp session, aside from the administrative tasks, involves development of educational materials necessary for the professional rehabilitation of children as well as development of curriculum for parents designed to help them encourage and support learning at home.
Thanks to our wonderful donors, we have successfully carried out three rehabilitation camps and are organizing our next camp called “Verba-4”, which is scheduled for April, 2019.
We have 42 children who are patiently waiting for their turn to go through rehabilitation.
We want to express our deepest appreciation our donors for your generosity, which allows us to have a positive impact on lives of many children! With your support we help children hear, speak, communicate and eventually be happy!
Best regards,
