Children with various delays of development receive the first experience of communication and game in group. Such experience will help children to go to kindergarden, school. But not every child will be able to use this experience…
The group for children with multiple disabilities was organized in our centre last year. In this group the meetings were important not only for children but for their parents also. Parents could communicate and feel supporting of each other.
After getting such experience parents felt more confidently and become friends. Due to these changes families could participate in celebration of finishing early intervention program.

The family with a child requested to the Early Intervention Center in September 2013. At that moment the child had speech difficulties and complexeties in communication with children and adults.

Child name is Artyom. Artyom was 2,7 years old. But he couldn`t  say words  and it was obstacle for  communicating  with others. Artyom started to receive early intervention services once a week at the Early Intervention Center.

 Artyom  went to kindergarten in 2015.  He was able to communicate with adults and children with simple understandable words .But when Artyom went back to the kindergarden after  the summer break he had the complexities  again. It was difficult  for him  to abide the daily routine, to play with other children, to obey the kindergartener. In that situation the family requested to the Centre again. . After discussing the Artyom`s complexities, it was decided to give  the child's family support services in  the kindergarten.

During the implementation of this strategy psychologist  and kindertgartener  were both  at the stroll .And the psychologist give to kindergartener recommendations in difficult situations. A week later Artyom could go to the kindergarten for full day. The specialists  satisfied with the result.
