This month's "Florence Centre” prepared a grant proposal on buying sport equipments to the “Kangaroo program” to the big supermarket “ASHAN”. Later our specialists made a presentation of the project to the employees of the super market. In the first stage, our project won first place.

Pupils of the "Kangaroo" program were invited to visit this supermarket. The children visited the bakery, pastry shop, got acquainted with the production of bakery products, and even themselves participated in the preparation of croissants! Many thanks for the positive emotions, for tasty treats and master classes!

On the eve of the integrative concert "World of Big Hearts - 7" our employees were invited to several local TV channels (MTM, TV-5) with the announcement. It is worth noting that this year, the concert was attended by many media who are interested in our holiday.

 

 

Participation in Seminars, Conferences

  

Together with the Faculty of Social Pedagogy and Psychology of Zaporizhzhya National University the  Florence Centre with the support of the fund "A Child with a Future» organized and held a workshop of a Consul "Autism-Europe" Inna Sergienko. This workshop brought together not only the teachers, social pedagogues, special pedagogues from all over the city, but also social workers, psychologists and public figures of our region. In total, about 170 professionals and parents attended the seminar.

 

 

The "Kangaroo" Program

Four individual consultations were held, during which the parents have received expert help in choosing the techniques for correction of a child's development.

In April, was held the eleventh seminar for parents of autistic children, dedicated to the issues of inclusive education and the reinforcement of the desired behavior. Training exercise on the adoption of his child was organized during the seminar. For many parents, this exercise has allowed to understand the degree of intimacy with the child and determine the future path of education.

This month, thanks to the support of the deputies, we were able to print and to distribute information leaflets about autism. Now many people can learn more about autistic children and about the ways how to help the parents of these children, as well as how to deal with the problem behavior of children in society.

This month our visiting guests were our good friends clowns. Our children enjoyed playing and having fun - blow bubbles, riding on a hammock. Thank you so much for such a wonderful holiday which children wait with impatience.

Our kids took an active part in the concert "World of Big Hearts." The ability to go on stage as actors, not as guests, let our kids got a new social experience. Guests appreciated the talents of our students, and parents enjoyed the performances and were proud of the success of their children.

This month we continued classes in hippo therapy. Our kids are happy to communicate with the pony, walking in the park, playing outdoor games.
