The "Kangaroo" Program

 During the month, 18 families attended  the "Kangaroo «program.

In December we organized  the seventh meeting with parents devoted to the compilation of information leaflets about autism. We are very pleased that parents are actively involved in the work and tried to share their knowledge.

This month we visited many places, had a variety of excursions and festivities. We visited the leisure center "IgroBum" (supermarket "Aurora") and the center of "Volcano" ( «CityMall»). Children with pleasure traveled through a maze,  jumped on the trampoline, played with colorful balls and walked across the bridge.

With great enthusiasm we were preparing for the New Year. With children and music therapist we practiced Christmas songs, circle dances, learned poems, games. Together with children we decorated our Christmas tree and rooms, pasted snowflakes.

On December the 25th was held our wonderful Christmas holiday. Kids were visited by a Snow Maiden and Father Frost, watched a puppet show, singing and dancing around the Christmas trees, played musical instruments, recited poems to Father Frost. 

In addition, the holiday was filled with a variety of games and competitions, and at the end of the fun everyone got a sweet gift. Many thanks to all our sponsors, individuals and organizations!

This month we continued or sessions in a  pool, hippo therapy classes, actively conducted individual sessions. And we were visited by our good friends, the clowns. Working together with the parents we helped them to establish itinerary for the children and it produced good results. We are very happy that a child who ate earlier only oatmeal consumed regular meal, started to eat meat and fruit. One of our children began to use more words, repeating after others. Many children had enriched their vocabulary.

 

The Program "Healthy Lifestyle»

  

In December, we summed up in the first half of the educational program "Healthy Generation". We would like to note the positive changes that have occurred in our school teams. Many children have learned to listen to each other, to be friendly to their classmates, actively participated in all activities. As we planned, in several classes we organized the New Year parties and had  quests. They have shown once again that interesting activity, full of joy, always helps children see the best in each other. For example, last year in one of the classes  schoolchildren did not want to be photographed together because they did not like each other. This year the situation has changed and they are easily agreed to work together in groups, and by the end of our work were happy to make the photo together.

In January, we will continue to engage in the schools doing training sessions on communication.
