The Portage method is an accurate, simple, universal technology for individual work with children, which makes it possible to teach
important skills of children with the most severe and multiple developmental disorders (SMDD).
This socio – pedagogical model allows you to work in a variety of conditions – with family children and orphans; with different nature and degree of health disorders, including severe and multiple developmental disorders; with children of various ages.
Classes can be conducted by specialists of various specialties and student volunteers, they can be held at home, in educational
organizations, orphanages and other institutions.
“Portage” has been used around the world since the 70s of the 20th century. In Russia, more than 10 years ago, the methodology was successfully applied by Russian
organizations, and the Portage methodological materials formed the basis of the early intervention system. The Association of Specialists was registered in 2021
Portage in Russia.
In 6 regions of Russia, with the support of the Diema’s Dream Charitable Foundation, 25 Portage teams have been formed and there is a unique experience in applying the methodology in working with children with severe disorders of psychophysical development, who were considered “unpromising” and “unteachable”.
Thanks to the classes, these children, previously considered “hopeless and unpromising”, learned how to wash and dress, drink and eat,
sit, stand and walk, assemble construction sets, draw and cut, distinguish colors, recognize objects, count, look at books, and
mastered many other motor and cognitive skills, skills from the sphere of self-service. Children develop and
development of speech, and active socialization – they began to communicate and play with each other and with adults, get to know the world around them, went out
from their chambers and began to walk in the street.
How to get there: Makhachkala.
