1. Florence Centre

During the month, the staff of the Centre "Florence" was engaged in the planning of activities for 2013-2014  year. Annual report was compiled and sent to all our partners and colleagues.

Also conducted preliminary work on the project "FASD", which will begin in September.

We did the planning of the activities to the 5th anniversary of "Kangaroo". Were also  interviewed  more than 20 people for the  positions of social pedagogue and nanny. And made a decision not to hire new people now as the number of people allows to keep only three staff members for the "Kangaroo project”.

In August, the Center "Florence"  started to establish the relations with NGO”s working with  disable  children in Zaporizhzhye.

2. "Kangaroo" (work with disable children)

Within a month, 10 people attended classes under the "Kangaroo" program. For each child was developed a plan of  his/her development, defined  goals  and the steps how to achieve them.

We note some changes and progress in work.

K. learned to answer questions with a sentence, not a single word as she did before (for example: the question - "Kate, what is the figure?", The answer is - "It's a green square"). Great shift in her physical development. She has learned how to correctly perform  morning exercises.

S. began to respond to his name, look at the faces of people. No longer afraid of contact with other children.

I. learned to say the numbers accurately. He also learned the names of shapes. Calmly responds to the prohibitions. Better interact with their children.

This month we hosted two children as volunteers (both are 9 years old, Maxim and Andrew), which helped to improve the social integration of children with special needs and served as  role models. With the same purpose we continue to take children to the playground to plat with normal kids.

Six individual consultations were conducted by specialists for parents.  

Sessions  began in August after a month's break. Children become estranged from the regime of the day in a group, in connection with the first two weeks have been a more effective individual sessions. By the middle of the month, all children become familiar with the mode of the day, which contributed to a more organized group lessons.
