Paradoxically – in our country there are speech pathologists, special educators, other professionals, and children with severe and multiple disabilities and are lying in their groups “Mercy” as supposedly “hopeless.” All 10 years of our Foundation, we are faced with the fact that the guardians of “speed” of orphaned children do not work to get the children upright, put on their feet, do not consider it necessary to teach them life skills. And in the municipal centers for families and children are no specialists to work with children in the family.
Meanwhile, 10 years of work by the method of Portage and 8 years of “vertical integration” of the Project have put dozens of children from the group Mercy on their feet! Children are able to do for themselves, that now no one believes that they are bedridden and bad. And so we invited our partners from the UK, the Ryazan Pedagogical Institute and Elatma`s orphanage, to finally, and in Moscow to equip these professionals a unique, simple and effective techniques.
“Complete delight – would advise everyone to get acquainted with the methodology Portage!” – So replied one of the participants of the seminar “Basic principles of methodology” Portage “in individual work with children with disabilities”, which took place on April 19-21.
In total, the seminar was attended by 43 people – attendees were specialists in psychological and educational centers, centers to promote family-based (former children’s boarding houses), centers for families and children of Moscow, the students of the Orthodox Institute im.Ioanna Theologian and the Moscow State Pedagogical University, volunteers and staff of charities.
All seminar modules were met by interested listeners. Particularly impressed by the stories of coaches on various experiences of using techniques – in Elatomsky orphanage for mentally retarded children in the Ryazan and Moscow families, and in England. Practical exercises in groups allowed very clearly to understand the application of the technique in certain situations.
Here are just a few comments:
“Do you want to receive clear and accessible tool to work with families and children – then you must come here!”, “Be sure to visit – lots of useful and easy to like, and what great results!”, “Great workshop!”
“A huge appreciation for leading their great work!”
